Villa Shinano is an inviting retreat located in the scenic region of northern Nagano, Japan. Nestled in the picturesque town of Shinanomachi, this villa is ideally situated between the renowned Myoko and Kurohime mountains, making it a perfect destination for winter sports and outdoor enthusiasts. The Villa is surrounded by lush forests, providing a restful and serene environment for relaxation and outdoor activities. The majestic mountains that encircle the area offer breathtaking views and opportunities for hiking, trekking, and exploring the natural beauty of the region. Villa Shinano offers a harmonious blend of traditional Japanese aesthetics and modern comforts. After a day filled with adventure, guests can unwind and retreat to the entertainment den to share the days adventures with friends and family. Whether you're seeking a winter wonderland for skiing and snowboarding or a peaceful getaway in the midst of nature's beauty, Villa Shinano offers a convenient and idyllic location for your stay in northern Nagano.
After dedicating 35 years to Tokyo's corporate world, I have bid farewell to the bustling city and returned to my hometown, Shinanomachi, a charming town in northern Nagano Prefecture. My connection to this region runs deep, stemming from my parents' decision to purchase a cabin on Lake Nojiri well before my birth in 1966. Since 1962, Shinanomachi and Lake Nojiri have been our family's cherished vacation spot. Growing up in this picturesque countryside, I've had the privilege of hosting countless friends at our lakeside cabin, many of whom have become devoted enthusiasts of the area, some even investing in cabins of their own. Motivated by a desire to contribute to the revitalization of the community, I have invested in Villa Shinano to offer a growing number of those desiring a truly amazing get-a-way and experience a convenient and quality accommodation to do so.
Surrounded by forests and rivers there is plenty of nature in the neighborhood. Just down the street there is a cafe/restaurant with Sauna (Sherokuma Cafe) as well as a coffee rostery who sell there locall roasted beans on line. Nanena Waterfalls are only a short drive or bike ride away.
