ABOUT
About this ryokan
🏔️A family-built Hakuba inn where every room has its own concept
Nagano · Ryokan Mokuzin
1
Handmade by a Hakuba family
- 🌲Built by the Hakuba-born owner family using timber they felled on the hill behind the inn and milled themselves.
- 🏚️Damaged in the Kamishiro Fault earthquake on November 22, 2014, the inn was rebuilt with the goal of welcoming guests back one year later.
- 🏔️Set at 750 m at the foot of the Northern Alps, with windows framing the Hakuba mountains.

Lounge with a wood stove
- 🔥The wood stove has been here since Mokuzin began, and guests naturally gather around it to chat.
- 🎬A theater corner has a 120-inch projector and 5.1-channel sound for films and games.
- 🎵An upstairs counter overlooks the open atrium for coffee or drinks, with handmade speakers and a tube amplifier filling the space with music.
3
Suites and superior rooms
- 🛏️There are 2 suites, 3 superior rooms and 5 singles, each with a completely different concept and design.
- 🍶Suite Tsuwa has a bar counter facing the Hakuba Sanzan peaks, with night skiing lights at Goryu and Toomi in winter; Suite Ume has a tea room where you can enjoy a planetarium.
- 🚽Suites and superior rooms have a private toilet and washbasin, with Mashiko-ware basins.
4
One-of-a-kind single rooms
- 🪵The five singles are named after the Five Trees of Kiso: one is entirely a bench bed, another a loft bed wrapped in solid hinoki boards.
- 🕰️Asunaro is a Western-mansion-style room where you sleep inside a mantelpiece, with a grandfather clock saved from the pre-earthquake inn.
- 🪨Nezuko is a cave-themed room, while Sawara is a calm tatami room looking onto a small dry landscape garden.
5
Dinner from home-grown ingredients
- 🌾Rice and vegetables are home-grown, miso is made from scratch, and wild vegetables and mushrooms go into seasonal creative dishes.
- 🐟River fish from Hakuba's cold waters appear as smoked char, yamame and rainbow trout, or Shinshu salmon sashimi.
- 🦌Venison and wild boar from local hunters show up when available; the menu is left to the kitchen.
6
Local drinks and tableware
- 🍶Local sake brewed with Northern Alps snowmelt and rice.
- 🍺Craft beer from Hakuba Brewing and wine from Yamabe Winery in Matsumoto.
- 🍽️Dishes come from Seto and Mashiko kilns and local potters.
7
Baths
- 🛁There are three baths, large, medium and small, all filled with heated Hakuba tap water.
- 🔒Each locks from inside, so it can be used as a private family bath.
- 💧The tap water is Alpine snowmelt and drinkable everywhere, so there is even a drinking fountain.
8
Getting there
- 🚃The nearest station is Kamishiro; contact the inn for pickup within the village.
- 🚌By bus, the nearest stops are Goryu Bus Terminal (from Matsumoto) and Sun Sun Park (from Nagano), with village pickup available.

Built and cooked by hand by the owner family, Mokuzin lets you pick a different room experience every visit. Note that the baths use tap water rather than hot spring water, and single rooms have no private toilet.
