[Hatagoya Togakushi] A hideaway surrounded by the great nature of the Togakushi Highlands, a national park

This is a stylish inn that is a renovated old house in the heart of Mt. Iizuna. There are a few houses nearby, but it is a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Outside the window is a beautiful world of the four seasons. This rental is limited to one group per day. Spend time with your family and friends. It is also close to sightseeing spots such as Togakushi Shrine, and is a great base for sightseeing. Forest Village, located in Daiza Hosshoike, about 10 minutes by car, has a zipline and field athletics. There is also a horse riding club nearby, where you can enjoy horse riding. Adjacent to the inn is the owner-operated farm "Mamayu Farm Togakushi", where you can experience harvesting. Making jam with rhubarb, stuffing your mouth with blueberries, roasting corn and sweet potatoes over a campfire, and so on, there is no shortage of fun memories. A child who hated tomatoes ate tomatoes he picked himself and fell in love with them. I started the farm to contribute to such food education. Anyway, it's up to you how you play.

Enjoy the view of Lake Nojiri, with a private sauna, Anoie (あの家)

This house overlooks Lake Nojiri and has a superb view. There are several ski resorts (Myoko, Kurohime, Madarao) about 15-20 minutes away by car, making it a perfect base for winter sports. Enjoy the wood stove sauna and the water bath with a view. There are no private houses around, so you can listen to music and watch movies loudly. Because it is a house located deep in the mountains, we take the best measures, but in the warm season, insects come out. It snows a lot in winter. In autumn, fallen leaves dance. You will also need to adjust the wood stove fire yourself. It's not an easy house to live in, but we promise you a great view and experience. Enjoy cooking with a counter kitchen with a view, condiments and cooking utensils. (There is no equipment for BBQ)
