Guesthouse Kazenowa

こちらを拠点に美ヶ原、霧ヶ峰、高ボッチ山に出かけました。オーナーさんご一家との食事が最高でした。また、すぐ近くの温泉もとても良かったです。また行きたいです。

施設周辺も含め全面禁煙なのがちょっと辛かったです。

El alojamiento es muy bonito, los dormitorios con suelo de tatami y cama futón. El dueño prepara la cena y el desayuno y es una inmersión total a la vida japonesa. Nosotros la disfrutamos muchísimo.

おしゃれでアットホームな雰囲気でした。

It is much more than a guesthouse. It is a family stay. You will get to eat Japanese food with the owners, Wakuw and Ayano, and their three charming children. The place is in nature, not close to shops or transportation, but this is also part of the charm. If you do not have a car, it is best to discuss this with the owners. I stayed for 5 nights, used it as a base for traveling to nearby nature reserves (Kamikochi, Norikura) all within an hour’s drive, and had a great time. Meeting other travelers was also a great experience.

this is practically a home stay. the owner picked me up from Matsumoto station and back to shirojiri station. I had japanese dinner with the whole family and speak to them in japanese they were sweet and very open. I booked the dormitory but since it had only a a male guest they let me stay at another private room inside the old japanese house.

the location isn't reachable by public transportation. the closest station is shirojiri after they you need a taxi. let them know in advance if you need a pick up. be ready to speak some japanese and pay in cash, no stores in walking distance. this isn't bad but being prepared will save you some worries.

Even though I made a last minute decision to visit Asahi the hosts were very nice and helpful! The atmosphere in the guesthouse was great.

The location is beautiful but quite far away from stores and other facilities. Having a car is recommended.
