A private house renovated from a 100-year-old traditional Japanese house.
nagare (Nagano, Japan / opening summer 2020)
This is a small country town in Japan. It is an area in a valley rich in nature, surrounded by the Central and Southern Alps.
"nagare" is a single house for rent in a quiet location, limited to one couple per day.
It is located in the Ina Valley area (southern part of Nagano Prefecture), approximately 3 hours from Tokyo and 1.5 hours from Nagoya.
It is possible to come here by one bus from Tokyo. We also arrange transportation and car rental.
It is a new Japanese space that mixes traditional Japanese space and foreign countries. We have been renovating for 3 years to create a space that is not only old Japan, but also comfortable and inviting.
We hope you will enjoy not only Tokyo and Kyoto, but also the real countryside of Japan. There are not many tourist attractions, but we would be happy if you come here to relax and unwind.
Most people stay here for a series of nights as if they were living slowly. Please spend your holiday relaxing and taking your time.
There is a local market and convenience store within walking distance. There is also a large supermarket 7 minutes away by car.
You can also hike, climb mountains, and explore the popular Kiso area (1 hour drive).
We, the owner couple, have traveled around the world for 500 days in 43 countries. After that, we moved from Tokyo to this small country town (Nagano) and after about 3 years of renovation, we opened this rental house.
We have communicated with many people in the world, and many people have helped us and been kind to us.
Now we will be very happy if we can give our guests a wonderful time and make them think that the Japanese countryside is wonderful.
