A calm and fun family and our signboard dog, Ten-chan, will welcome you.The seasonal scenery and interaction with people will soothe your soul.It's also fun to listen to various stories about life in the countryside.The food is so delicious that I end up eating way too much!The signboard dog, Ten-chan, is friendly and cute.I think one of the reasons it's so popular is that you can stay with your dog!Play and relax together.I've never lived with a dog, so being able to interact with them is also a great thing.The inn is a lovely old folk house with a quaint exterior and fine beams.The room is also very spacious and clean.Since it has been renovated, the facilities such as the toilet and bath are very clean and you can spend your time comfortably without any inconvenience.Recommended for people who want to experience rural life and people who want to go on an overnight trip with their dog!

I saw it on TV and learned that you can stay with your dog in an outbuilding of an old folk house.I was worried because it was difficult to get a reservation for staying with a dog, but I was able to get a reservation and stayed for two days during Obon.It was my first time staying in an old folk house, but the grounds were larger than I expected, and I was able to park my step wagon comfortably.There is no toilet in the detached building, but I was able to use the bath and toilet in the main house.It was a wonderful space, with the main building and outbuildings still having good Japanese fittings, windows, and beams.The breakfast and dinner meals were also very delicious.The side dishes made with homemade vegetables, miso, and heshiko were all delicious, and the rice was also very delicious.Both the husband and his wife were very friendly and we had lots of fun talking to them.My husband was very satisfied and said he would like to stay again.I would also like to stay with my dog.thank you very much.

Ima-san is an inn that has been beautifully renovated over a 100-year-old property✨We were greeted by a very friendly couple and their dog Ten-chan🦮In addition to the couple, they also have two daughters😺Check it out After staying in and relaxing for a while, Ten-chan 🦮 and my 🐕 and I all took a walk on the farm road 🏞️ Although there were a few incidents, we had a really fun time 😄 Dinner and breakfast were included, and both were very delicious. My whole family raved about it ❤️It's a perfect inn, but if I had to pick a drawback, it would be that the water facilities (bath and toilet) are only in the main house, so you have to be very careful. Since I have a daughter around that age, I have to specify when to use the bathroom.In short, it feels like I'm staying at a friend's house. Therefore, my opinion in hopes of future development is, ``I thought it would be better to add a toilet to the guest room.Other than that, everything else is 💯💯✨I said something bossy, but including that. There is no doubt that it is a very comfortable inn 👍 I would like to stay again next time 😊

It is run by a lovely couple with a smile, and they are good at making sweets.The friendly dog ​​``Ten'' will greet you with a barking sound. Once ``Ten-chan'' gets used to it, she will become pampered.

I had the luxury of having the annex all to myself at a farm stay. It was cool even without an air conditioner♪The building is old, but the water area has been renovated and was clean.There was also a cute dog and we had a lot of fun together. There is also a small field in front with chickens roaming around. The dishes made with eggs freshly laid by the chickens and the breakfast made with plenty of local vegetables are super luxurious!The host seems to have immigrated from Osaka.I was also able to talk to some of the guests staying in the main building.This is a way to enjoy things that you can't do at a hotel.The starry sky was beautiful at night.
