"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.
