🏡A countryside farmhouse inn amid Azumino rice fields facing the Northern Alps

Nagano · Minshuku Gohoden

1

A Stay Like Grandma's Country House

• 🏡A guesthouse and soba restaurant set among Azumino's rice fields on the banks of the Yorozui River.
• 🧱Brick walls and a thatch-style structure give it a distinctive look, built with generous use of Nagano timber such as zelkova.
• 🛋️The concept is 'grandma's house in the countryside' — minimal fuss and only essential facilities, so you can relax as if at home.

Main and Old Buildings, 30 Rooms

• 🛏️There are 30 rooms (capacity 120); most are bedrooms, with only 3 Japanese tatami rooms in the main building.
• 🚭The main building ('folk art type') is entirely non-smoking; its Alps-side twins look out over fields to the mountains.
• 🚬Old Buildings A–C allow smoking and have rooms for 1–4 people. No room has its own bath, toilet or sink — shared facilities are on each floor.

Baths Drawn from Northern Alps Spring Water

• 💧Not a hot spring: the baths heat mineral-rich Northern Alps natural water, listed among Japan's 100 Famous Waters.
• 🛁The men's bath (Ichi-no-yu) and women's bath (Ni-no-yu) provide shampoo and body soap.
• 🚿Separate men's and women's shared unit baths are available 24 hours, and day visitors can bathe too.

Home-Style Buffets and Shinshu Soba

• 🍽️Breakfast and dinner are both buffets of everyday home cooking that changes daily, not regional specialties.
• 🥬Low-pesticide vegetables from the inn's own adjoining farm are used as much as possible.
• 🍜Dinner runs 18:00–20:00 and breakfast 6:30–8:00; the on-site Shinshu soba shop makes noodles from stone-ground buckwheat.
