You can spend a relaxing time in a quiet place. I really liked the southern French atmosphere and the thoughtfulness of the small space. The thing that made me the happiest was the loungewear✨This was the first time I had ever been to a place that had so many wonderful items available.The elaborate cuisine and the hospitality of the mother and son were very comforting.It's like a summer resort, so if you want to wander around at night, it might be a bit unsatisfactory, but if you want to spend some time relaxing, it might be a good place.

Since 2023, the second-generation owner has taken over the reins.This is a French-style inn that is particular about not only its appearance, but even the smallest details such as the lock and the bathroom. The owner's service is very gentlemanly, and the natural scenery makes it ideal for those who want to take a break in a quiet inn.

This is an auberge (restaurant with lodging facilities) located in the Kokonoe Plateau that resembles a country house in southern France.A variety of buildings, furniture, and accessories that are carefully selected by the owner.With only two groups per day, you'll feel like you've come to a friend's house in France.Free parking available.Upon arrival, you can enjoy welcome cake and drinks at the restaurant building.The detached building is Western-style, and as soon as you enter, you'll find the living room and bedroom. At the entrance, change your shoes for slippers and hang your coats on the antique coat hanger at the entrance.The room has a calm interior with white plaster walls and indirect lighting. Beyond the door is a bathroom with a sink and washlet, and a claw foot bathtub next to it.Wi-Fi and washlet available.Electric kettle, dandelion coffee, tea, refrigerator, and cold water available.When it's time for dinner, I'll go to the restaurant building. There is a fire in the wood stove and the mood is lively. Be sure to order a glass of wine and enjoy your meal slowly with the full French course. A gentle taste made with local ingredients. It has a deliciousness worthy of an auberge. I was able to get a replacement for the bread.Breakfast was available from 8am and 9am. In the morning, in addition to butter for bread, there was chocolate and apple jam, which was very delicious. The drink was a fresh mix of orange, grapefruit, and kabosu. The tea was also very fragrant and delicious. The blue cheese salad and Spanish omelet will fill you up.I would like to go there next spring.

It was so good that I didn't want to tell anyone.However, it's located in the mountains, so if you don't like insects, you might want to avoid it.My time here has become a treasure.

I visited for the first time in several years after the coronavirus pandemic, but I felt the same warmth as before. Afternoon tea on the terrace with sunlight filtering through the trees was a blissful time.

I stayed here as a Mother's Day present. Although I only stayed for one night, I had a very fulfilling time.When I arrived, I was surprised to see a curtain of greenery and a cute building. It felt like I had come to a place that I couldn't believe was Japan.The staff were very nice and took great care of me, so I had a great time. The food, the room, and the hospitality were wonderful, and it was a hotel that made me want to come back again.thank you very much.

I was surprised by the atmosphere of southern France, even more so than in the photos. During construction, engineers were invited from France and materials were imported to recreate a private house in Provence. Cute furniture is placed in the only two outbuildings, and a central heating radiator heats the room without polluting the air. At the restaurant, the chef will serve you delicious dishes prepared with great care, and you can enjoy breakfast on the open terrace overlooking the mountains of Kusumi and listening to the chirping of birds. A special auberge nestled quietly in the forest. An inn that I don't want to tell too many people about.Added 2022.12. It seems that Wi-Fi has been installed in all rooms.
