MAROUDO Guest House

Owner: Mr. Atsushi Iiboshi

“Maroudo” has no established check-in and check-out system. When making the reservation, guests are required to fill in their estimated time of arrival, but as problems often arise where traveling, there is a chance that something unexpected might happen on the day itself. In such circumstances, in order to deal with the situation appropriately, after the reservation is completed, the contact number is given, which can be used to contact an English-speaking staff.

“Maroudo” can be written as “客人” or “賓”, means “a guest that has come from far away, and that we should receive with utmost courtesy”. I am a traveler myself, and have a fair bit of experience traveling to Germany and France. During my travels, I was warmly received as a “maroudo” wherever I went.

Upon starting this lodge, it was fairly natural that I should name it as such. Akimoto is a tiny settlement with a population of about 100 situated in the inner regions of Takachiho Town, but with a slogan “a village that is easy for honeybees to live in”, all the residents come together to work on creating a village that will lead on to the next generation by preserving old and good things while taking in new and good things. Nothing would make us more happy than if we could share this lifestyle with our “maroudo”.

Heida No Sato

“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.
