Doesn't your appetite kick in when you are here? It seems like it is related to the high altitude here. That is why we make sure to prepare plenty of food for everyone.

Yasuko Kawamura and team

The previous owner had a dream of establishing a horse-riding ranch, so he initiated a lodge first. He named it "Hope," to reflect on his dream.

Regarding guest rooms, we have Japanese-style and Western-style rooms on the second floor of the main lodge, along with separate cottages—all crafted by hand. Each room has a distinct ambiance, featuring fur-covered chairs, patchwork bedsheets, vintage lights and rugs, and more. With slightly different layouts and everything handmade, if you love intage, handmade, or log houses, I am sure that you will thoroughly enjoy your stay here.
To ensure all our guests have a delightful experience, we offer not only horseback riding but also various activities such as leathercraft and stained glass workshops.

While the natural beauty of Lake Shirakaba is captivating, I also recommend exploring the Lake Tateshina area or downtown Chino for delightful food experiences. There are charming bakeries and restaurants serving delicious soups. I also enjoy attending baking classes in the area. I would love to share this kind of information with our guests, so please stop by anytime.
