Hello! I’ve always loved nature, and in 2023 I left Tokyo to start a new life in the Japanese countryside. Now based in Nagano, I run private cabin stays, a sushi restaurant, and local tours. Even in rural Japan—where the language barrier can be high—we help travelers enjoy their journey freely with support from English-speaking local staff. As a traveler myself, I often thought, “When traveling, I just wish I had easy access to a car, laundry, and local information.” That thought inspired me to create this place. During a trip, finding transportation, laundry facilities, and sightseeing info each time you move accommodations can be surprisingly exhausting. Here, you can find everything you need in one place—so you can spend your travel time more freely, and more comfortably.

❑ Private Forest Cabin in Nagano Experience Japan’s beauty through the seasons — cherry blossoms in spring, cool mountain air in summer, autumn colors, and winter snow. ❑ Free Rental Car (Insurance Included) A car is essential for exploring Japan’s countryside, where public transportation can be limited and time-consuming. Guests with a valid Japanese driver’s license or an International Driving Permit may use our complimentary private car throughout their stay. The car is parked in a covered indoor parking area near Nagano Station. Even on rainy or snowy days, you can step off the Shinkansen and get into the car without getting wet, then head straight to the accommodation. The vehicle is fully insured (unlimited liability and property coverage, no deductible). Please drive safely and enjoy your stay. Valid driving license required to use the car. ❑ Comfort Meets Nature With a wood-fired sauna, sound system, kitchen, and laundry, it’s ideal for long stays — a hidden retreat to relax and reconnect with nature. ★ Entertainment Within the Cabin The highlight of your stay is a fully private, authentic wood-burning sauna. Feel the gentle heat of the stove, enjoy the steam of a self-infused löyly, and refresh both body and mind in the peaceful embrace of the forest. Unwind at your own rhythm, without distractions, in a sauna experience designed just for you. Beyond the sauna, you can enjoy music through the ONKYO audio system, or savor outdoor cooking with a traditional shichirin charcoal grill. There are countless ways to relax and have fun without leaving the property.
