Really nice cabin style accomodation, extremely warm and cosy, comfortable western style beds. Extremely friendly hosts who were always smiling and on hand to help us if we had any questions. Would stay again, thank you for having us it made our little day trip to Myoko wonderful 😊

felt like we were at home with our lovely hosts, and the lodge is very homely. great breakfast too

a little bit out of town, but fortunately we had a car

Lovely hosts and good facilities

Extremely warm and helpful staff. They made excellent vegan breakfast upon request and were helpful with finding places etc.

The location is a little bit tricky if you’re not travelling by car. There is a shuttle bus that stops nearby and the host couple will drive you for a small charge, though.

Where do I start? This must be one of the loveliest guest house experiences I’ve ever had. In the aftermath of the Typhoon Hagibis the local train line from Nagano to Myokokogen was down so I was worried I would not be able to go. Called the owners in advance to ask for advice on how to get there and they very kindly drove about 40 mins to pick me up from Nagano station. Whilst in Nagano I was asked if I wanted to see the Zenko-ji temple, so we stopped by there to have a look around. Then we drove to the guest house (with a stop for groceries on the way). The guest house itself is quite small, but the hosts are so welcoming and sweet. Although they don’t speak a lot of english they try their best and have a translation device which they use when needed. When I needed help with anything they were right on it. Since there’s no communal kitchen (which I thought there were), they were very helpful with boiling the eggs I’d bought for lunch. They do both european and japanese style breakfasts and I got to try both (they ask which you prefer). Although breakfast is the only meal provided, they very kindly kept slipping me food whenever I was at the table. Rice and miso soup one day and mochi the next. As I think I’ve made clear, the hosts are just the loveliest people! The room was clean and the shower room is relatively big. Toothbrush is provided along with shampoo and soap. The area is great for hiking or just relaxing for a few days. Would definitely come here again and wish I could have stayed longer!
