In front of the guesthouse runs a stream that is a source of Lake Biwa and its water is crystal clear ; in early summer nights many fireflies fly over the stream. In winter, we have a lot of snow ; sometimes it reaches 2 meters from the ground! On clear nights you can enjoy the sky full of stars.

With the concept of "Re Origine (Reuse what can be used and do not destroy more than necessary)", "Re Make (Reuse and rebirth even waste materials)", and "Re Meaning (Do not let anyone say that there is nothing in the countryside)", we strive to create new value by cherishing the roots of the countryside.
