Hokuto is a highland area at the foot of Yatsugatake and the Southern Alps, about 2 hours from Tokyo by train or car. Stay somewhere with Wi-Fi, work from where you stay, and between work sessions visit springs, sake breweries and gorges. That is what a few days here can look like.
- Train Limited Express Azusa from Shinjuku to Kobuchisawa, about 2 hours
- Car About 2 hours from central Tokyo on the Chuo Expressway
Whether you come alone, bring a team, or are hosting guests from overseas, this page covers places to stay and work, welcoming guests from overseas, what you can check for each venue and how to plan the trip, in that order.
