I was tired from the busyness of everyday life and was wondering if there was a place where I could relax. Based on everyone's reviews, I searched for it in my favorite place, Nagano, and visited for the first time.I was concerned about the extremely high ratings, so I made a quick decision.I came here with high expectations, but it was even better than I expected!If you ask me what it is, I won't be able to explain it well, but everything was good.Owner? The landlady? The landlady's brother?The filial son and his father and mother who stayed with us?Just everything!cooking, bathing, music, timeIt was an experience that permeated my tired mind and body.thanks so much.I'll definitely go again someday.

I have never stayed in an inn where I felt so satisfied and relaxed when I left. It was such a great stay.The location is Akiyamago, an unexplored region. It was my first time staying overnight, and I was prepared for the inconvenience of staying at a lamp-only hotel, but I was betrayed in a good way. The way the owner and staff interact with each other is pleasant. Even though there is no air conditioning or TV, the room is clean, the best hot springs, and the natural breeze. You can feel the attention to detail, such as the variety of wild vegetables and wild game that can only be eaten here, as well as delicious freshly ground coffee and hot spring bread. The piano performance at night and the signboard cat, Utan, are irresistible.When it comes to inns in unexplored areas, there are usually a lot of insects and I don't expect much cleanliness, but this place was a little different. The toilets and changing rooms are both well-cleaned! The next morning's hike in the mountains was also memorable. There are so many that I can't write them all down, but here they are. I was excited on the way home thinking about when I should go next time, that's how good the inn was.

2024,08,01~03 It's been a little over two months since the last time. The reason is that I want to play in the river. Swim in the cold river water, warm yourself up in the river's hot springs, and then head back into the cold river. . . It's all set!There is no air conditioner in the room, but it was fine in the mornings and evenings as long as the windows were open, but the temperature was too cold to open them fully. Depending on the time of day, you might have to fight horseflies in the open-air bath in the summer, but it's also a wonderful place to see the Milky Way and shooting stars at night. I always think that the hospitality of this inn is amazing. I love the hot springs here, but I think I come to this inn because I want to meet everyone.2024,05,23~25 The delicious taste of Nemagari bamboo is an unforgettable visit. This time, I was taken to collect Nemagari bamboo, and I had a really fun and fulfilling time.As always, I am humbled by the warm and caring customer service.The open-air bath was also designed to store hot water, so you could enjoy the open-air bath at your preferred temperature by taking a hot or lukewarm bath. The starry sky from the open-air bath is also beautiful. . . .The live piano performance after dinner will leave you enchanted and moved by the tones that soothe the day's fatigue.This is an inn where you'll want to stay forever.2023,11,23~25 This is my second visit this year. I had planned to stay overnight and do some trekking this time as well, but it was raining on the second day so I gave up. Moreover, since a cold wave is coming, the open-air bath at night is cold even with a slight breeze, so I quickly warm up in the indoor bath and smile. This time, we enjoyed a delicious meal, and the piano recital after the meal was also wonderful. An inn where you can spend a truly relaxing and luxurious time.I was also impressed by the snow that fell overnight so that you couldn't see any cars. . . It was worth buying a new car to come here! ! It was a moment that made me think. (lol)2023,06,02~04 This is my second visit.When I came here last fall, I heard about Nemagaritake and wanted to try it, so I went back. Of course, I want to enjoy the snow lights even more this time! It's a consecutive night.Staying for consecutive nights was the answer. After breakfast, we had rice balls made for lunch before trekking. . . The weather was perfect. Of course the open-air bath after the trek was great, and the piano concert after dinner? ? recital? ? is the best, and the wonderful guitar sound of the host is also wonderful.The wife's cooking and attention to detail make this an excellent accommodation.Ah. . . I want to live here! This is an inn that will make you feel that way. I'll definitely go again this year! ! !2022,11,26 This inn is located in the deepest part of Akiyamago. We were able to see natural char in the clear Uono River that flows in front of the inn. However, if you change the location, you will find hot springs gushing out from the bottom of the river! Create your own footbath with river water and relax. The owner said, ``Find a pillow and lie down.'' But he didn't have the courage to do so. Next time I'll bring a swimsuit!The starry sky from the open-air bath, and the indoor bath which is hotter than the open-air bath. I agree with the explanation that both are full of negative ions.There was no TV because the cable TV line was cut many times due to heavy snowfall. I don't need it. (lol)Before breakfast, we even saw wild monkeys come to play in the garden, and they even let us go on a trek through the private property, so it was a great stay for even older adults.The husband and wife said there was nothing there, but here they had the luxury of having nothing. (It was really nice to meet you both!)I made my next reservation and headed home.Payment is by Niconico cash only.

Unexplored Akiyamago. It's the deepest part. The surrounding area is primeval forest. The open-air bath inside is special. The river has a source gushing out from below. The autumn leaves are said to be spectacular. I would like to go again. You can enjoy meals made from wild vegetables and other delicacies from the mountains. I also enjoyed the piano concert where they played my requests.

Although it is inconvenient to access, you can have an experience that can only be had here. Dinner and breakfast are mainly made from locally grown food, so you can feel the blessings of nature. And hot springs! The hot water is soft and flows directly from the source, which is very nice. I think it's a great way to digitally detox and cleanse yourself of everyday stress without thinking negatively about not having a TV in your room or the reception being poor.

An inn located in the middle of Akiyamago. The food was delicious, there was an open-air bath, and we had a great time relaxing by the fireplace.The next day, we climbed to the upper reaches of the river, which we usually cannot access, and enjoyed the spectacular views.
