There is a garden surrounding Tsugumori's cafe and accommodation building. The playful Tsugumori Garden was created by Michio Wakui. We asked him about how he ended up settling in Komoro after moving to the United States and about Tsugumori Garden.

Tsugumori's cafe and accommodation building is a simple black building, but once you step inside, you'll find a relaxing and comfortable space. This space was created in collaboration with Sansuisha, a company with its headquarters in Nagano City.

At Tsugumori, we are proceeding with the development while preserving as many trees as possible. However, the red pine trees had been attacked by pine bark beetles and were dying, so we cut them down in November of last year. We are also planning to install a wood stove in August, so we used the cut red pine trees for firewood.

Tsugumori's owner, Junko Tsuchiya, has written about the circumstances that led her to create Tsugumori, her vision for the future, and her feelings for this land.
