The story of how this inn was created

I got this old house that was vacant.

It took a long time to repair. That was in 2016.

The owner couple are from this town.

When she was in her 20s, her husband Shohei had work experience overseas.

We are a couple who love to travel.

▲scenery from our chestnut orchard

This town is known as the king of Japanese chestnuts, but the population is decreasing and the number of people growing chestnuts is also decreasing. We also work as chestnut farmers to revitalize desolate chestnut mountains.

▲We use cedars and other trees that grew in the chestnut orchard for firewood.

Firewood is made from cedar and other wood cut during the maintenance of the chestnut orchard and used at the inn.

▲I'm making a bath. I learned the structure.

▲The bathtub gets hot, so submerge the "Gesu-ita" board before entering.

This bath uses natural water pumped from the well.

The area has sake breweries and mineral water, so the water is beautiful.

▲We renovated it ourselves

▲I have left the old windows.

Please come and enjoy the simple time in Japan.
