The Saigawa River, which gathers water from the Northern Alps—one of Japan’s premier high mountain ranges—flows from the Matsumoto Basin down into the Nagano Basin. This Kominka is located in the mountainous region of the Minochi area along the way, perched at an elevation of about 500 meters. It has stood in this pristine environment with exceptionally clean air for over 150 years. The panoramic mountain views from the property and surrounding area make it clear that this is a truly special place. It also offers convenient access to urban life. Shopping district can be reached within about 10 minutes by car, and JR Nagano Station and Shinkansen is roughly 40 minutes drive away.
