[Unexplored Area] Former private home with a beautiful river running through it.

This private traditional Japanese house offers stunning views of the river flowing right before your eyes and the surrounding mountains.

We renovated this 100-year-old traditional house from the Taisho era into a guesthouse through a DIY project.

This lodging faithfully recreates a traditional Japanese house from that era.
While we do not offer the luxurious amenities of a resort hotel, we hope you will experience the nostalgic atmosphere of Japan from that era and get a sense of the good old days of Japanese culture.

[We take pride in three things]
1. You can play in the beautiful river right in front of the inn.
2. You can enjoy traditional cuisine prepared using an authentic irori hearth and a clay pot.
3. We’re located just a short distance from the Uogafuchi Suspension Bridge, one of the “Ten Scenic Views of Keihoku.”

This is a facility that both adults and children can enjoy, so please come and experience the great outdoors.
