The host carefully renovated a 130-year-old house over time and revived it as a private rental.The beams, pillars, tatami bedrooms, sunken hearths, and wood stoves that have been used for many years give the inn a quiet warmth and calm.From the windows, you can see the Central Alps and the seasonal mountain village, and at night, the sky is full of stars.There is a Goemon-style bath that boils water with firewood outdoors, and you can experience it if you wish.The kitchen is stocked with cookware and seasonings, and you can enjoy meals in the sunken hearth.Seasonal vegetables and rice are grown in the fields, and you can also get fresh ingredients during harvest season.It is a place for adults to stay, away from everyday life, where even doing nothing feels pleasant.
