First visit in February 2023When I searched on the search site, I got a page that said Hinokage Town was closed, so I thought it was closed, but it has resumed operations.It was a separate building from my mother's house, and it was in the mountains, so it got cold, but as long as I turned on the heater, there was no problem.The inside of the building was well-cleaned and I was able to spend a comfortable time (I think the insects depend on the season; there were no insects at all in February).Hinoki bath, authentic wild game if you're lucky, the bestThe owner was very understanding of people who came for rock climbing, and treated us as if we were visiting a relative's home.There are many rocks that you can climb on the riverbank right next to the facility. Thanks to the cooperation of the local people, we are always able to spend a comfortable time here, so we, the users, were respectful and went down the mountain thinking that we would like to come back again.At the time of our visit, we could not receive GPS signals from the TOYOTA rental car's car navigation system or Softbank. If you are unfamiliar with the area, it would be wise to take precautions.

I don't know the details, but this is the only place to stay in the area!?According to the general, most of the people are climbers or fishermen, and recently many people are staying in their cars❗Room without meals: 3,500 yen. 6500 yen including dinner and breakfast.The food was delicious and served local ingredients. Dinner wasn't much, but we were given wild boar meat as a surprise and it filled us up! ️I read in another post that there weren't many insects, but even though it was the end of March, there were quite a few in the room!! ️But it's in the countryside so it's tolerable ✨The bath was great! ️Is the source hot spring water in a handmade bath?By the way, this guesthouse is run by an elderly couple, and at first the wife is talking fluently to the husband, but it's actually the husband.I would like to thank you for letting me talk about various things during dinner and for giving me guidance about the mountain I will be climbing tomorrow and growing wild vegetables! ️I mean, I don't really talk much, but thank you for talking to me✨I don't think I will have a chance next time, but I would like to go again ✨By the way, I thought that my middle-aged father was making ends meet with the name of the inn and the communication at the time of reservation, but I was wrong.When you come, you will receive traditional customer service and it will be like being in the countryside.20200326 Accommodation.202007 I was not able to stay at Masutaro-so, but since this area is a shortcut to climbing Mt. Futatsu, Mt. Goba, Mt. Natsuki, and Mt. Kano, which are close to Kyushu's 100 Famous Mountains, the general is also in 2020. I hope you do your best ☺️

Since I stayed in early autumn, I didn't see any insects and was able to enjoy the beautiful night sky filled with stars. Some people may feel uneasy about the lack of street lights in the area, but I think that's the real thrill here. Scenery that cannot be experienced in the city awaits you. Also, the host of the inn welcomed me warmly even though I arrived late, and I am sorry that he had worried about me even though I had contacted him in advance. I prepared the meals here, so I only had to use the kitchen and utensils, but it was very clean and tidy, so I felt comfortable using it. Also, the bath was a handmade cypress bath, so you could enjoy piping hot water no matter how long it took! The scent was nice and relaxing, and I slept soundly at night. Although there was no signal, it was a wonderful space where you could relax and read or meditate away from your cell phone or other electronic devices. I also talked to my friend and family who went there with my mother, saying that we definitely want to stay there again in the fall.

I thought there would be a lot of insects since it's in the mountains, but there weren't many insects, and although it looked rundown from the front, the inside was relatively new and clean. The bathroom was also large and clean.
