Alpine Inn Mizushiro  

Tucked into Matsumoto's alpine National Park on a boardwalk, this smoke-free bed & breakfast sits steps from Norikura Plateau and just minutes from Mt. Norikura Snow Resort. Ichinose Meadow, Yoshigoro Falls and a nearby golf course are all within a short drive, making it a great base for mountain and nature escapes.

A small, homey retreat with just 8 guestrooms and a friendly, English-speaking staff. Rooms feature flat-screen TVs and bathrooms with separate bathtubs and showers, bidets and slippers; portable fans and limited housekeeping are provided. Expect a clean, cheerful vibe and local alpine touches, with hiking trails and quiet forest right outside the door.

Soak in a hot spa and step straight onto nearby hiking trails. Ski fans get ski storage, ski-to-door access, off-site ski transfer and rental options. Rent a bike, relax on the terrace and in the garden, or fire up the on-site barbecue. Free self parking and an area shuttle (surcharge) make getting around easy.

Complimentary wired and wireless internet (free Wi‑Fi) throughout the property; luggage storage plus laundry and dry cleaning services are available.

Full breakfasts are served daily from 7:00–8:30 AM for a fee. The inn prepares Japanese and Western meals using healthy local produce and wild alpine plants, with barbecue facilities for a more casual bite.
