Megamiko Station Inn

Our price per person per night includes breakfast and dinner.

For over 20 years friends from all over the world have visited our home and enjoyed an unforgettable and wonderful vacation experience.

Megamiko Station is truly one of the most beautiful retreats in Japan, with breathtaking nature scenery and a great place to experience the real country lifestyles of Japanese people.

The entire lodge is made out of wood with a really antique stove in the middle to heat up the restaurant area. It is a very warm and cosy family environment.

We live up in the mountains of Shinshu or Nagano Prefecture, famous for the Japanese Soba noodles, rice fields, mushrooms, scenic mountains, lakes, ski, snowboarding areas, natural hot spring baths and hosting the Winter Olympics in 1998.


In winter, skiers and snowboarders enjoy scenic drives up to the many ski areas and resorts around our area, ranging from beginner ski to advanced Olympic size competition zones. The white snow capped mountains, frozen lakes, tranquillity and serenity helps you feel calm and peaceful.

Also, a relaxing bath in the natural hot springs sooths and relaxes the tension in your body, making you forget all the troubles and stress in your life.

In the spring time, many Japanese tourists come to the mountains to see the nature, flowers, and lakes and breathe the fresh air. The famous Sakura blossoms are also a popular attraction here.

You can visit any shrines, temples or Sake factory. Try Kimono`s put on by certified Kimono coordinator and take your photos and have a fun!
