Let's thoroughly enjoy the dishes that can only be eaten here.

An inn nestled in a tranquil mountain village where you can rent out an entire old folk house with a thatched roof. Instead of a luxurious stay, you can enjoy a stay that feels like an old-fashioned lifestyle.

The inn is located in a corner of a village in the mountains, so you can feel the activities of people coexisting with nature, such as the terraced fields and the lights of private houses. It's a luxury that you can't imagine in the city, having a spectacular view of the mountains outside the window.

Villages carved out of mountain slopes are rare, and the entire village was designated as an “Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings” in 2005. There are almost no shops in this area that you would imagine in a normal town, and it takes about an hour and a half to get to the nearest supermarket by car. There should be something that can be done because it is such an isolated place. Why don't you use your imagination and enjoy the old-fashioned inconvenience?

For dinner, we will have local cuisine that uses plenty of seasonal flavors of the mountain village. The rice served at the hearth, such as "dekomawashi" grilled over charcoal and "Iya soba noodles" featuring short noodles that hardly use a binder, is delicious enough to make your cheeks fall off due to the atmosphere.
