This is a log house pension located at the highest point in the pension village of Hara Village at the foot of Mt. Yatsugatake, at 1340 meters. Although it is said to be 51 years old, it has been well maintained and the inside of the building is very clean. In particular, the toilet and washroom around the water area had been renovated and were very clean and comfortable. Natural wood was used for the floors, walls, and ceiling of the room, making it very luxurious and soothing. The things decorated in various places were also wonderful. The dining room is surrounded by woods and has a wood burning stove, so I think it's great during the snowy season. The meal was made with plenty of highland vegetables, and as a salad lover, I was very satisfied. The food was a Western course meal, all homemade, delicious and plentiful. There were two dogs that were kept there, and they were so friendly and soothing.I visited again with a friend in mid-March, when there was still snow, because I wanted to enjoy the wood-burning stove. We were shown to a special seat in front of the wood stove for the meal. It was a fun and wonderful dinner time, healed by the flickering of the flames, the sound and aroma of crackling firewood, and the warm air 🔥Also, even though it was a season when vegetables were scarce, I was impressed by the hospitality of the owner, who provided plenty of salad.

Saturday stay in late July.My wife and I stay at Giovanni's Hut in Hara Village, Suwa District, Nagano Prefecture.After visiting Kirigamine and Haramura and taking a bath in a nearby hot spring, we headed to our accommodation.A wonderful pension in Haramura.It's been a long time since I stayed at a pension.Be the first to check in at 4pm.Because it is at an altitude of 1350m, it is considerably cooler than Nagoya.I know winters are harsh, but I think it would be nice to live in a summer resort like this.In the evening, I took a walk around the pension.Walk leisurely in the refreshing breeze.The chirping of small birds is soothing to the ears.The long-awaited dinner starts at 6:30 p.m.It starts with a powerful salad.A salad that can't be found in Aichi Prefecture.Next was zucchini soup.I thought it was just a normal course soup, but the quality of this soup is extremely high.Next was bacon wrapped sea bass.Rich French sauce and light sea bass.This contrast is irresistible.It's a pension, but it's a full course.The meat is really meaty hamburger.Delicious hamburgers that are hard to find even at Western restaurants in Nagoya.Dinner ended with delicious dessert and coffee.I drank three glasses of red wine and felt a little comfortable.I also really enjoyed talking with the owner.This is a pension that I would like to visit again.

We stayed here in July.The outside was very cute, the inside was very clean, and the accessories on display were very stylish and nice.The toilet smelled very nice and was clean.The breakfast salad was surprisingly large, but I was able to eat it all in one go. The sausage has a unique texture and is delicious! The bread was also fluffy!The owner and his wife were very personable and helped us in many ways.I would like to visit you again next summer.

A cheerful couple and an energetic dog will welcome you.The couple was very attentive and kind, and even cleaned the snow off my car the day after it snowed.The food was very delicious, and it was top class compared to other pensions I have stayed at.There is Wi-Fi, but it was a shame that the connection to the Internet was unstable for some reason (occasional interruptions) even after connecting.You can choose to have a bath provided by the pension or take a nearby hot spring (separate fee).The toilet and washroom in the room had been recently renovated and were very clean.Overall, it was a very satisfying pension.
