古民家宿るうふ 峡之家

This year, in addition to staying at hotels on domestic business trips twice a month, I stayed on the West Coast of the United States and all over Europe for about two months in total, and I stayed at a variety of hotels from small luxury to five-star hotels, but to be honest, this hotel was the best. I think it's my turn. It's a beautiful location that you can stare at forever and forget the time, a spacious space that's too big for two people (which is natural since you're renting out an entire old folk house), and a variety of attractions that will keep guests entertained (the storehouse has been turned into a karaoke box). I have never heard of it happening!)Also worth mentioning is the friendliness of the staff. Everyone was bright and always smiling, and although modest, I could feel their strong passion for their inn. They don't say anything, but I can feel their pride in having built this inn with their own hands, and their love for their guests to truly enjoy themselves, which is very moving. . This inn can truly be called a textbook of DIY-style luxury.For example, there was a freezer at the exit of the open-air bath, and three types of popsicles were prepared for us after our bath. It was a really small thing, and it's something you often see at traditional inns, but I remember being very moved by it. How much does one popsicle cost? Is it around 20 yen wholesale from a vendor? Considering how excited we are, this is the best cost performance. Even if you don't have a huge amount of capital, you should be able to see that you can compete with five-star hotels with just a few ideas.There are too many examples to list. For example, the bowl of miso soup served at breakfast. The edge was slightly chipped. However, the pattern and atmosphere are gentle and it seems to be very cute. What is clear is that this does not mean ``the guest is not aware that the item is missing and is letting the guest use it,'' but ``the guest is intentionally letting the guest use it because the item is known to be missing.'' It was probably purchased from a vintage shop somewhere. I much prefer this bowl to the pure white bowls found in luxury hotels, which are thrown away as soon as the edges are chipped. And that idea perfectly matches the concept of renovating an old folk house and bringing it back to life as an inn. The concept of using old things with care and loving them even if they are a little chipped was a value that is rarely seen in luxury hotels in Europe.To be honest, this inn is so wonderful that I don't want to tell too many people about it. I think Ruufu, an old folk house, suggests one of the paths Japan's tourism industry should take toward European-style luxury branding. If you have seen this review, please refer to it. I'm sure you'll have a surprisingly moving experience.

[Lovely accommodation and meals in an old folk house]Among LOOOF Co., Ltd., which renovates old houses and turns them into accommodations mainly in Yamanashi and Chiba prefectures, we visited the most popular one, ``Ruufu Kyonoie'' in Sutama-cho, Hokuto City, Yamanashi Prefecture.Meals include skewers of trout and Shingen chicken, and charcoal-grilled vegetables. Hokuto City is said to have the longest daylight hours in Japan, and the vegetables and fruits there are sweet and rich in flavor. Although it is a dish that is rarely cooked, the rice itself is delicious, and the charcoal-grilled dishes are all more than delicious.At night, there are almost no people living in the area, so it's dark. There were many deer and monkeys in the area, and the sound of hunting guns echoed through the mountains on the day we arrived.Other than relaxing at the inn, there aren't any events other than an open-air bath or a bonfire, but I think that's also a bonus. Fireworks were also sold at the inn.The entire building can be rented and can accommodate up to 8 people. (If you stay with two people, it will cost about 40,000 yen per person, so I think it's a little expensive.)It would be more fun if everyone came together.Anyway, this company called ``LOOOF Co., Ltd.'' operates eight old Japanese-style inns in Yamanashi Prefecture and four in Chiba Prefecture.The brand of the inn is "Rufu".The president of this company is a woman in her 30s... It's great to see young people like this coming out.I need to support you...Luxury resort hotels are great, but I think old folk houses are great as well, but I don't think people understand that.Come to think of it, there is a story that only Japanese and Polynesians can hear the sounds of insects, and Westerners only hear them as noise.I think that the Japanese sensibility may become a weapon in the future...

It was an inn with a score of 300 out of 100. I had so many wonderful experiences that I can't write them all down.You can enjoy the beautiful, renovated facilities while feeling the history of the building. The time I took a nap while listening to the sound of the river and the chirping of birds was the best time I could have had in the city.In particular, the heartfelt and warm service provided by the staff is something I will never forget.ps. I looked at the parking lot at Oishi Park! It was wonderful (⁠^⁠^⁠)

I was surprised that there are still so many fireflies in Japan.I was very satisfied with the facilities such as the cypress open-air bath, the customer service, and the food. Washing your heart. The perfect place to forget about work and relax for 3 or 4 days!
