Completely non-smoking, surrounded by gardens and offering free Wi-Fi throughout, Grass Hopper is 5 minutes from Shinano-Oiwake Train Station via the free shuttle.

Rooms look out on the surrounding greenery and have air-conditioning/heating facilities and a TV. Bathrooms and toilets are shared with other guests. Japanese Yukata robes are provided for an extra cost.

Beautiful Area and such a lovely host. It was about a 30 minute walk from the train station uphill (So beware if you have luggage with you!) It's such a beautiful house, it's quaint and felt comfortable to stay in. Two spaces with locks for traditional showers, baths and it seems there were space heaters for the colder months. There were plenty of toilets and one in our room as well, sinks with soaps and towels. The host provided toothbrushes if needed, has a microwave and mini fridge for guests to use upstairs near the sinks, and a kettle for hot water/tea/coffee. There is a fan mounted to the wall in our room which was very nice and we could open the windows for cool fresh air. Definitely a great place to stay. There's cafes super close, two combini about a 15 minute walk away, and a place to the left of the 7-11 had such good food at fair prices.

    Lovely room, clean linens and bathroom and great staff! Would love to stay again and try the breakfast next time! Chris would also recommend nice restaurants and bakeries nearby - locals know best (can’t really trust Google at a tourist spot).
