The cooking, accommodation, and field environment are truly a rare experience. From the maintenance of the house and the preparation of sumptuous meals, you can tell that the owner is a person who is very passionate about life and likes to connect and interact with people.

I used it with 6 friends in mid-September. I was able to check in earlier than I should have and enjoyed the sauna from an early hour. There is a sauna right next to the BBQ, so I was able to enjoy myself very freely by taking a sauna while having a BBQ. My kayaking experience was disappointing because of the rain, so it was a place I would stay at again if I had the chance.

On the first Saturday of September, I stayed with my family of four (not including small children) for one night, and it was truly the best.Somehow, if this were my grandma's house where elementary school students go to stay for two weeks every summer, I would give it a perfect location and appearance. As soon as I arrived, my mind began to replay Inoue Yosui's childhood memories.As soon as we arrived, the owner took us to the Inari Shrine on the mountain behind the hotel. Following the owner's nimble steps, we climbed up the steep stone steps, which have been carved with time of 300 years, with little breath, and found ourselves in a dark cedar forest, which has also protected the area for 300 years. Inari came. In a magical atmosphere, we prayed for their safety on the journey.The kind owner is very light on his feet and does everything skillfully and skillfully, and I can feel his strong desire to make us feel comfortable and entertained. However, I didn't feel pushy in the slightest, and I felt really comfortable from beginning to end. When I heard that we could make a bonfire in the garden, I went there with just the marshmallows to roast them, but when my son asked if there was something like a branch to stab him with, he immediately took me to the wooded area in the back. He took four thin bamboos, cut off the leaves, and shaved off the tips to create an ideal object in just three minutes. I can't help but think that the owner's personality and skills are evident here and there.Apparently, the building used to be the owner's parents' home, and while the original good things like the Shinto altar, Buddhist altar, and tiled bathroom remain intact, the air conditioner, shower, washlet, and kitchen area have been replaced with new ones. , it was very comfortable. I was told that it was possible to cook for myself, so I was given a peek into the kitchen, which was fully stocked with a large refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, and cooking utensils.What surprised me most was that there was a Le Creuset in the usable pot. It happened. As you can see, the equipment they have is very authentic and of good quality. The bonfire stand is Snow Peak. Come to think of it, I quickly spotted Campers marshmallows on the shelf that looked like they were meant for roasting. We brought our own, but if you don't have one, they may be able to sell it to you, so please ask the owner.I had planned to eat Genghis Khan for lunch, so I had a course meal for dinner. I was very satisfied with the taste, as well as the beautiful bowls, colors, and presentation. During dinner, a bonfire was lit outside on the porch that could be seen from inside the room, and the atmosphere was great.After dinner, we set off fireworks and roasted marshmallows while watching the bonfire, and enjoyed the outdoor bath, sauna (which is really authentic), and the water that the owner skillfully prepared at just the right temperature. I enjoyed the rotation of the pool instead of a cold bath until late. I had prepared a swimsuit, but if I were doing this in a residential area, I would have probably gotten a lot of looks, but since there were no other people around me, it was really easy going. If you would like to enjoy these activities, we recommend that you bring your own swimsuit.On that day, the temperature was close to 30℃ during the day, but perhaps because of the altitude, the temperature dropped to around 20℃ at night, which felt really comfortable, and the sky, which had been cloudy until then, had cleared up. The sky was full of stars, so during the day, just as the owner had told me, I moved to a place where the streetlights on the public road in front stopped, and for a while I looked at the Milky Way, Subaru, and meteors with my mouth open. I was there. On the way, a cat who appeared to be a neighbor's pet cat lay down next to us and accompanied us until we returned, as if thinking that there was a group of idiots we weren't used to. Maybe it was protecting me from some kind of monster. Thank you cat.Apparently there are several bedrooms to choose from, but I was given a futon in a room called Zashiki Warashi no Ma. There were children's toys and paper balloons in the alcove, and it felt like a real Zashiki Warashi (however, don't worry, it didn't feel scary or anything). ), unfortunately I couldn't meet you. I've heard that they also choose people when they come out, so I realized that they still lacked virtue.In the morning, when I received a call from the owner exactly at the agreed time, breakfast was prepared in the pavilion outside, and I enjoyed a delicious meal in the clear air. Everything was delicious, but especially the rice cooked in a clay pot and the nameko soup with large pieces of fried rice were the best. What kind of soup is that?This turned out to be more of a long diary than a review, but I wanted to let you know that even though we only stayed for one night, everyone in my family was impressed. There are many places I have stayed at that I hardly remember, but there is no doubt that this was an unforgettable stay. I'm sure I'll be able to use your services again, and I look forward to working with you again.

I went to stay with my family of 5 in August. We had small children with us, but it was spacious and we felt comfortable. The children were happy to find BBQ and bonfires in the garden, as well as a pool and swings. As children, we could play hide-and-seek in the spacious house, and the house itself seemed to be having fun. At night, the starry sky was beautiful and we could see the Milky Way and shooting stars. The owner was very friendly, and we even received some tomatoes from his field. It's a good base for exploring Tono Monogatari, and it's highly recommended for families who want to spend a relaxing time.

There are many farmhouses in Tono, each with its own unique features, but Rian Tono is located on the outskirts of Tono City, in the middle of a rural mountain landscape.As you step off the bus, which runs only twice a day, you are transported into a world of picturesque countryside.There are no convenience stores or vending machines nearby, so especially if you don't have a car, it's a good idea to stock up on things you might need (there is a large refrigerator at the inn).However, with the rice ears rippling in the wind, the green hop balls of flowers, the Inari Shrine in the back mountain at the top of the moss-covered stone steps, and the chorus of frogs at night surrounded by the twinkling starry sky, time passes slowly. Like in a dream.The food is also very delicious. The Genghis Khan BBQ and breakfast were delicious, but the husband's special risotto for lunch was so delicious that I ordered a second helping.When I saw the bus heading home, I felt lonely, as if I had woken up from a dream, but it was a place I wanted to come back to again.

My husband and my eldest daughter dog 🐶 First trip to Tono.I was nervous about renting an entire old folk house...I thought it might be a bit of a hurdle, but I was excited by the nostalgic atmosphere. The water area has been renovated. On the first night, we had a BBQ dinner, which is famous for Tono's Genghis Khan, and we also had delicious fresh vegetables. On the second day, we had a dinner with friends, an Italian course🇮🇹 The brown rice risotto was especially delicious and we all couldn't help but have a good time.I was also impressed by the perfect timing of breakfast.It was fun to chat with the owner, who was a nice guy, and he gave advice on sightseeing... Especially during the Obon season, we were able to see the rare ``sea of ​​clouds.'' It was a memory that will last a lifetime.What made me happy was that I was able to let my eldest daughter's dog be free. Of course I followed my manners, but even though she was no stranger to the place, she seemed to be able to relax. Thank you for the kindness of the owner and for the wonderful time (*ˊ˘ˋ*)。♪:*°We look forward to seeing you again.
