[Nagano, Shinano-machi] A 50-year-old boutique hotel has been fully renovated. A new base for fostering culture.

2026.10.23
"WAYPOINT" was born from the desire to nurture new value and community while carefully preserving and utilizing old buildings. Located on the shores of Lake Nojiri in Shinano-machi, Nagano Prefecture, this facility is a meticulously renovated 50-year-old boutique hotel that was once a beloved local landmark.
Inspired by the sustainable spirit and craft culture rooted in Portland and Seattle, USA, we reconstructed the building into a space that suits modern lifestyles rather than demolishing it.
・"Step-in style" that allows you to go directly from the car to the passenger compartment.
- An authentic sauna with the warmth of earthen walls and a vintage van-style cold plunge pool.
- A lounge space that fosters a relaxed connection with the local community and travelers.

A "new local" hub that inherits the history of the Shinano-machi and Myoko area while inviting new sensibilities. Enjoy a special stay at WAYPOINT.
