If you're in need of some outdoor adventure, make sure you visit Mount Hikarujo. No easy stroll around the block, this hike is perfect for a mid-vacation work out.

This steep landmass is often on the itineraries of visitors to Azumino. But Mount Hikarujo isn't the only drawcard in the area. Matsumoto Castle, Asama Hot Spring, and Daio Wasabi Farm are some other worthwhile sights close by.

We are a family of 4 and recently stayed in the Grand Japanese room and it was great. Had plenty of space which is rare in Japan. Was also close within a few minutes walking to the train station as well as restaurants. Had a Lawson downstairs and two other supermarkets across the road. In a quiet neighbourhood also. I would highly recommend.

I think this is newly buit. Everything was brand new. It was very spacious, has two TVs, kitchen and even laundry machine. It was super affordable compared to other hotels.

Overall we had an excellent experience at Hotel Chinzanso, which was our first time in Tokyo and in Japan. We found the staff extremely professional, friendly, and helpful. The location is a bit off the beaten path but for us that is a bonus, and travel was easy on the Metro and rail lines. The setting of the garden is especially pleasant, and an oasis from the bustle of a densely populated city.
