Wood stove, shared kitchen, your call on company.
Evenings here are for reading, or for talking with whoever else is staying. How close you get to other people is entirely up to you.
Common room
A cozy space by the wood stove
Gather around the wood stove, handcrafted by local artisans “Eight Knot” in Matsumoto. Enjoy a warm, relaxing night in Norikura accompanied by the soothing crackle of the fire.
A shared kitchen, at your own pace
We do not serve meals, but the shared kitchen has pans, pots, knives and the rest of the cookware, plus a microwave, fridge, rice cooker and toaster. Basic seasonings are stocked too. Bring your groceries and cook at your own pace.

Unwind on traditional tatami
A relaxed shared space where you can lie down on the soft tatami mats or gaze out at the surrounding nature through the windows. Take a breath and make yourself at home during your journey.
Facilities

Room-only means the evening is entirely yours.
