The road to the guest house is a narrow path along a steep cliff, and the gutters are hidden by grass, making it difficult to find, so we recommend parking your car before going downhill.At night, just looking up at the star-filled sky from the porch makes you feel glad you came.My job was hard and I didn't have any excuses (hobbies, etc.) to work hard, so I was thinking about it, and although it may be an exaggeration to put it into words, I thought that someday I would live in a place like this and regain my sense of calm before ending my life. I did.

The air is very clean near the top of the mountain in Hirohashi, Shimoichi Town, Nara Prefecture, which is famous for its plum grove.Foxes and raccoon dogs usually appear.The friendly and cheerful female owner is in charge of customer service, making this inn a very homely and relaxing place to spend a day.They say they can hold training and training camps for about 15 people, so I'd like to gather my friends and make a reservation.
