"Ginmokusei" Guest House (pick up avail.)

About "Ginmokusei
　We are a four-family house, with children from elementary school to my 97-year-old mother living here. The house was rebuilt about 20 years ago, but it is still a traditional Japanese house. The house is decorated in a calm, pure Japanese style with a sense of nostalgia. You can feel the warmth and soft texture of the wood. (It was televised on the TV program "Paradise of Life" as a lodge for lumberjacks. In the early morning on a clear day, the town shines in the morning sun. The view is breathtakingly beautiful.

The restrooms are separated for men and women.
Pick-up service is available from the nearest bus stop, although reservation is required.

　 [About the owner].
I am a member of the "Somagumi," a group of local lumberjacks who protect the forests of my hometown and I have been working on "forestation" through forest thinning for many years. My wife also works as a navigator of the local history and culture. My wife also works as a navigator of the local area, telling people about the history and culture of the area.

In Nakano-kata, there are many places to see, such as the Sakaori Terraced Rice Paddies, which were built about 400 years ago in the early Edo period. There are many places to see in Nakanoho. If you would like, we can show you the nature and culture that remain in Nakanoho. We hope you will come to Nakanoho to experience the original landscape of Japan.
