Encounter and Experience Guesthouse
Local Characteristics
Azumino City is located in the northwestern part of the Matsumoto Basin, which stretches across central Nagano Prefecture, and is an area blessed with clear streams throughout. Also, one of the largest wasabi (horseradish) farms in Japan is located in the city.
Concept
Our philosophy is to connect with people in and outside of Japan, and to engage in activities that will bring joy, fun, and happiness.
3 Key Points
1Host’s introduction
Both local councilors and guesthouses have a high affinity in that they both play a role and function in solving local issues by connecting people, things, events, and information locally.
2You can interact with people like this!
We also have unique events and stays such as Dream Talks 'and' Birth Stays (stays before 'and' after the childbirth in Azumino), so we have overnight guests as well.
3You can experience like this!
Visitors can interact with each other through agricultural and rural living experiences. We grow rice, wheat, sesame, buckwheat, soybeans, red beans and other grains, various summer and winter vegetables, and blueberries. We would also like to ask for help with the guesthouse and farming. We would like to create a system where many people can get involved.

Recommendations
We aim to create this inn where is the ideal for those who found the interest of travel in meeting people. We have a public space where guests can gather, and the owner's local friends might join them to talk with each other across generations. We are looking forward to welcoming those who want to experience rural and agricultural life.
