🏡Western Warmth Woven into a Kominka

Nagano · Azumino Nishiya Cottage

1

A Hidden Kominka Inn in a Natural Forest

• 🌲A rustic hideaway-like inn surrounded by the natural forest of Hotaka in Azumino
• 🏚️Relocated and restored from an old kominka in Niigata's snow country, keeping its distinctive steep-pitched roof
• 🤫Enveloped by forest on all sides, with almost none of the artificial noise that might interrupt conversation

2

Japanese-Western Fusion, an Air of Enlightenment

• 🛋️Behind the rustic kominka exterior lies a Japanese-Western fusion space with European-style interiors and an irori hearth
• 🎨Local arts and crafts from Azumino are displayed throughout the lobby
• 🔥Spend time filled with the warmth of wood in the dining room, centered around a stylish irori hearth

3

Five Rooms, No Two Alike

• 🛏️All five rooms follow a different concept, named Imari, Mashiko, Bizen, Tanba, and Oribe
• 🌿Imari and Oribe, reached by crossing a small bridge, are relocated annex rooms scented with wood
• 🚻Every room has its own toilet and washbasin, and the Imari annex includes a private hinoki cypress bath

4

Natural Hot Spring Drawn from Nakabusa

• ♨️The tubs overflow with a gentle, mildly alkaline natural hot spring drawn from Nakabusa Onsen
• 🪵Three baths in all, including a hinoki cypress indoor bath and a hiba cypress open-air bath
• 👨‍👩‍👧Every bath is reservable as a family bath, so you can relax without worrying about others

5

Kaiseki with Seasonal Ingredients and Antique Tableware

• 🍲Enjoy dishes made with fine seasonal ingredients and local vegetables in a room centered around an irori hearth
• 🍶Served on carefully chosen antique ware such as Ko-Imari and Karatsu, a meal to enjoy with the eyes as well
• 🍽️Both dinner and breakfast are served in the dedicated dining room

The Terrace and Azumino's Four Seasons

• 🌸On the terrace, feel the scent of earth and wood, birdsong, and the whisper of the wind
• 🥬Close to the renowned Daio Wasabi Farm and several art museums
• 🚗About 10 minutes from Azumino IC; the nearest station is Hotaka on the JR Oito Line

Good to Know Before Your Stay

• 🕒Check-in at 15:00, check-out at 10:00, and parking for up to 6 cars
• 💳Card payment is not accepted, so please bring cash
• 👶Given the nature of the inn, preschool-age children generally require advance inquiry

A place where the warmth of wood, rather than grandeur, lingers in the air. Soak in a natural hot spring within a kominka farmhouse cradled by forest, savor a seasonal kaiseki served on antique ware, and take in the four seasons of Azumino at their fullest.
