A hideaway in the woods to soothe the five senses

At Soba House Azumino, we believe in the philosophy "making and eating together." Upon arrival, you can enjoy the soba making experience and then savor the soba you made around the hearth. This is an opportunity to enjoy the fragrant taste and food culture of Shinshu. Our meals are prepared using seasonal local ingredients such as wild plants, river fish, and seasonal vegetables grown in rich water. In addition, we offer BBQ at the hearth. The menu varies depending on the season.

In the morning, the beautiful sunlight filtering through the windows will wake you up, and you can breathe in the crisp, fresh air while feeling the presence of the living creatures around you in the trees.In the evening, the natural cypress hot spring and sauna (also made of cypress) will help you relax and warm your body from the core. You can enjoy a peaceful time in one of the carefully selected bedrooms, where you can experience the traditional crafts of Azumino.

Formed by the majestic Alps and the Shinano River, which is the largest river in Japan, Azumino has fertile soil and has inherited a culture centered on agriculture since ancient times. It is known as a production area for buckwheat, wasabi, apples, and grapes, but it also has a history of being widely loved for its emotionally rich folk crafts such as Temari balls and textiles. Soba House Azumino offers a variety of activities that allow you to experience traditional living, including authentic soba making using a stone mill, poetry making and Temari ball making.
