The Alpen House Omachi
【Gate to the Alps: 11 Prime Seats at the Gateway to the Northern Alps】
Shinano-Omachi, known as the gateway to the Tateyama-Kurobe Alpine Route. In a quiet corner of this town—long cherished by hikers, skiers, and travelers who love beautiful nature—“The Alpen House Omachi” has opened: a luxurious, whole-house rental where up to 11 people can stay together under one roof. Whether it’s a family reunion, an expedition with friends, or creating memories across three generations, here you’ll find the “joy of gathering” that you’ll never experience at a hotel.
■ A massive dining table for 12, a living room designed for 11
The heart of this home is the open living-dining area where everyone can gather at once.
Custom-made 12-seater table: A large table—a rarity even in whole-house rentals—where everyone can gather around the table at once.
Entertainment: Equipped with a 65-inch flat-screen TV. Perfect for showing photos from the day’s hike or hosting a Netflix viewing party.
Fully Equipped Kitchen: A system kitchen with a 3-burner stove, large refrigerator, microwave, rice cooker, toaster, and a full set of dishes and cooking utensils for 11 people. Stock up on Shinshu beef and fresh highland vegetables at a local supermarket and enjoy a lively dinner together.
■ A Stress-Free, Prime Location “Close to the Station with Parking”
The most challenging part of traveling in a large group is “getting around.” This property solves that problem.
A 4-minute walk from Shinano-Omachi Station: Even if you’re arriving by train, there’s no need to walk while carrying heavy luggage. You can drop off your luggage as soon as you arrive and head out to sightsee with ease.
Free parking for 3 cars: This makes it easy even when multiple families arrive in separate cars and meet at the property.
■ Excellent Access to the Northern Alps, Kurobe Dam, and Hakuba
Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route: Just a short walk from the bus stop for buses bound for Ogizawa Station. Take the first bus of the morning to see the crystal-clear panoramic views and the water release at Kurobe Dam.
Hakuba Area: About a 30-minute drive. In winter, it’s one of the world’s premier snow resorts; in summer, visit scenic spots like HAKUBA MOUNTAIN HARBOR.
Omachi Hot Spring Village: 10 minutes by car. With many day-trip bathing facilities, you can enjoy a hot spring tour to soothe your fatigue after a day of hiking.
■ A private space blending Japanese and Western styles to soothe the fatigue of travel
We paid special attention to the layout of the bedrooms to ensure that 11 guests can sleep comfortably.
Western-style Rooms: Rest comfortably on soft beds while maintaining your privacy.
Japanese-style Rooms: A traditional Japanese space where you can be soothed by the scent of tatami mats. It’s also fun to line up the futons and spend a night together, just like on a school trip.
All Rooms Equipped with Air Conditioning: From Shinshu’s refreshing summers to its snowy winters, we guarantee the ideal room temperature year-round.
■ Travel as if you were living there. Local dining and lifestyle information
Although the property is located in the heart of the city, it sits in a quiet spot just one block off the main street.
Local Favorites: Within walking distance, you’ll find renowned Shinshu soba restaurants, izakayas serving local sake, and stylish cafes.
Shopping: Large supermarkets and drugstores are just a few minutes’ drive away. You’ll have everything you need, even for long-term stays.
Laundry facilities: Equipped with a washing machine. You can stay with peace of mind, whether you’re planning a long hiking or skiing trip, or traveling with small children.
[Our Philosophy]
“The Alpen House Omachi” is more than just a place to stay.
In the morning, open the window and let the crisp air of the Northern Alps greet you.
During the day, refresh your mind and body amidst the overwhelming beauty of nature.
At night, gather around a table with your closest friends, a glass of local sake in hand, and share stories.
We aspire to be your “base camp” for such a journey.
A place where even large families or groups of up to 11 people can enjoy the ultimate luxury without worrying about disturbing anyone.
