WHO WE ARE

Hello,
We are Tazawako Onsen Coliving

We are reimagining a long-vacant hot spring inn as a base for digital nomads and remote workers — a place where focused work, outdoor adventure, and genuine community come together.

Guided by the principles of Regenerative Architecture, we are renovating this historic building with a shared kitchen, coworking lounge, and high-speed connectivity — while staying deeply connected to the onsen, mountains, lake, and local community that make Tazawako extraordinary.
