“Heida no Sato” is currently a community of 6 old Japanese-style households, built approximately 70 years ago. The room layout and furniture has been left as it were although the kitchen and bathroom have been renovated to a modern style. It takes about 1 hour to climb the hill on foot.
Although Wi-Fi is not available, the aspect of being completely cut away in daily life will certainly allow you to experience “The Hidden Japan”, and we can declare that no other facilities go beyond in providing this experience.
Please bring plenty of food in our lodge. As cooking utensils are prepared, we hope our guests will enjoy cooking in this traditional Japanese house. The steep slope is cultivated as a way of life by the community around us. We wish that you can enjoy the gorgeous scenery viewable anywhere you go.
Now, because you can only use a credit card at the gas station in our village, please prepare Japanese Yen in cash from a Post office ATM or JA ATM, located at the post office and A-Coop, both in the same building.
