Stay a little longer
and take your time.
Kiso-Fukushima, home to Matari House, is a compact town nestled in a valley.
The station, supermarkets, restaurants, banks, and more are all within walking distance.
As you wander through town, surrounded by gentle hills, the sound of the river follows you.
Take a bus, and you’ll find highlands, gorges, and Mount Ontake coming into view.
“Kisoji is all mountains.” Feel the truth of those words as you settle into the changing face of nature, the flavors of each season, and the lives of the people who call this town home. Take it slow and let yourself discover Kiso more deeply.
Experience a side of Kiso you won’t find on the usual tourist trail.
