Hut in Nagano

4.92 out of 5 average rating, 101 reviews

"Sakurae-kan" is a Japanese-style modern guest house that has been renovated by taking advantage of the retro atmosphere of the Taisho period building.

Sakurae-kan is a private old private house located in Sakurae-cho, at the foot of the national treasure Zenko-ji Temple, the symbol of Shinshu. Zenkoji Temple is a 5-minute walk away. It is a Japanese-style modern building that has been renovated taking advantage of the retro atmosphere of Taisho period architecture. On the way to Zenkoji Temple, there is the quaint Shukubo-dori Street, and at the end of Zenkoji Temple, there is also Joyama Park, the Nagano Prefectural Museum of Art, and the Higashiyama Kaiikan, which is a resting place for Nagano citizens, so why not relax? There are many cafes, bakeries, Italian, French restaurants and cafeterias nearby, so it is convenient for eating out. Of course, you can also enjoy walking around Shinshu Soba, a specialty. There are many soba shops around Zenkoji Temple, as well as Japanese cuisine and Starbucks. Surrounded by nature, Nagano has many climbers and is convenient for accessing Togakushi, which is also a power spot. I hope that it can be used not only by customers from overseas, but also by domestic tourists. From Nagano Station, it is a 20-30-minute walk, and there is a loop bus called Gururin, which is about 10 minutes by taxi.

I wanted you to relax in the Azumino air and spend a lot of luxurious time. It is a 5-minute walk from Meishina Station from our facility, and 2 stops to Matsumoto Station on the Shinnoi Line. It is easy to go towards Nagano. Mt. Nagamine, abandoned lines, Daio wasabi, swanbage, etc. Please enjoy Azumino sightseeing If you have a car, you can get to Hakuba in about 50 minutes.
