A few years ago, I saw a view of a yellow train passing through a lush countryside. That might have been the place I've always dreamed of. After a few years, I came back to this place and started a vacation rental space with hot springs. Surrounded by a leisurely countryside and a magnificent and beautiful mountain. Sometimes I show my guests around, to see the morning fog of Lake Kinrin and the thick clouds on the mountainside of Mt. Yufu. In the evening, I will start a fire and enjoy relaxing music and the smell of meat. Every night, I will have the nature hot spring be ready. Coming from the volcanic magma, watching the steam rises and a slight sulfur scent drifts up. Different languages, different skin colors, and guests are from all over the world. We talk and drink at the bar. I even have had a toast with all the guests which is from seven different countries. I love to listen. Guests tell stories about their lives; I am always inspired by their interesting stories like their adventurers and all the other things that they have experienced. Some family choose to celebrate birthdays in this guest house, some may travel alone here. This guest house is also popular with children. The reason is that it is close to the African Safari Park where you can interact with various animals. Every day you may feel what "once-in-a-lifetime meeting" exactly means here. And you know how you should cherish them. Here is a place full of a lot memories , and I hope your memories will be here someday Show More

What a fabulous place. Genuine Japanese hospitality by Jeff, the host. Traditional Japanese accommodation with lovely onsen. We were here with our family, including a 2 year old and 6 month old. The 2 year old had plenty of space to run and expend energy. My son in law had some time with Jeff getting hints and information of the area. We really enjoyed our 2 night stay here. Thankyou Jeff for being such a gracious host.
