About Sakura Shimizu Cottage
A cottage and camping holiday in the forests of Matsumoto and Utsukushigahara
Enjoy it with your family, three generations, close friends, and your pets.
Why not spend some time relaxing surrounded by the nature of the forest and plateau at Sakura Shimizu Cottage, located at the foot of the Utsukushigahara Plateau in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture?
Sakura Shimizu Cottage / Camping & Glamping is a small forest resort located at the starting point of the Utsukushigahara-Ōgatō hiking trail. It's about a 25-minute drive from Matsumoto city center. It can also be used as a base for enjoying sightseeing in the Utsukushigahara Plateau, Ōgahana, and Matsumoto.
Within the premises,
• 27 cottages accommodating 4-8 people • 27 auto campsites • Deck BBQ available at each cottage
The resort boasts a large public bath that uses the spring water of Utsukushigahara, as well as facilities that allow guests to fully enjoy nature, such as a fishing pond, a dog run, and a tent sauna.
During the day, I walked through the forest and felt the mountains.
As dusk falls, we gather around the fire and have a BBQ.
At night, enjoy a relaxing time amidst the tranquility of the plateau and the starry sky.
At the starting point of the Ougato mountain trail, there is still the Sakura Shimizu Teahouse.
In this place, which has welcomed travelers visiting Utsukushigahara for many years, we are creating a new form of stay while carrying on that legacy.
Play, eat, stay overnight, and relax in nature.
Sakura Shimizu Cottage is a forest retreat in Matsumoto's Utsukushigahara area, perfect for creating lasting memories with family and friends.
