MAHOROBA A Traditional Country Retreat in Nagano
A traditional inn
centered around an Irori hearth
and craft beer
Nestled in the mountains of Nagano,
Mahoroba is a historic house once ordinary in its time
but now transformed into a serene retreat.
With around 150 years of history,
this traditional wooden home offers
a unique blend of rustic charm and refined comfort.
As evening falls,
gather around the hearth
and enjoy a local craft beer in hand.
Here, far from the hustle and bustle,
the simple act of doing nothing
becomes the most enriching experience of all.
The scent of aged wood, birdsong,
tatami beneath your feet,
and seasonal landscapes fill your senses,
while local flavors warm your palate.
This is the ordinary life of old Japan
— now, a rare and delightful escape
from the everyday.
