Sleep in the valley. Better: sleep here twice.
The rides, the rivers and the quiet old highway all start at our door — and the post town is at its best in the early morning and evening, when the day-trippers are gone. Stay a night to see it; stay two to actually live it.
Kashiwaya Guesthouse
An old wooden guesthouse in Nagiso, run by the same people who hand you the e-bikes — so your bags, your bike and your bed are all one conversation. Wake up steps from the river and roll straight into any of the second-day plans.
Rooms and rates live on Kashiwaya's own site — check dates there, then come back and plan the days around it.

A whole old house, to yourselves
We're restoring a second kominka — a traditional wooden house — as a private, one-group-per-night stay. Built for riders: park the bikes inside, dry your gear by the stove, roll out the door onto the valley roads.
Details and opening dates will appear here first — or ask us on WhatsApp and we'll keep you posted.
One bed, three valleys, zero logistics.
A luggage shuttle between the stations and the guesthouse. E-bikes at the door. The Yogawa-michi, Kakizore and Atera valleys all within a morning's reach — and someone local to tell you, honestly, which one fits tomorrow's weather.
