An experience you can't have in the city

DESCRIPTION

Opened in May 2022 in the Hippo(筆甫) District (formerly Hippo village) of Marumori Town at the southern tip of Miyagi Prefecture, it is an old folk house guest house that can be reserved for one house. In the past, the village was prosperous in sericulture, charcoal burning, forestry, and ironmaking.
It is a district where industry is declining due to the trend of the times, earthquakes, typhoons, etc., and the declining birthrate and aging population are currently progressing.
Under such circumstances, the 28-year-old host, who moved to this area as a community revitalization volunteer, renovated the inn over a period of one year with the cooperation of local residents. From the attic space, you can see the thatched roof, where you can watch movies for free. In the garden, you can also take an open-air bath while looking at the starry sky. In addition, there is a hearth and a wood-burning stove, and you can also experience a tent sauna and indigo dyeing as an option.

薪割りと五右衛門風呂、クセになりそう!

斎理屋敷の道をまっすぐ行き、不動尊公園をすぎたもっと先に、その古民家はありました。

屋根裏部屋に子供は大喜び。祖父母も交えてかくれんぼ何度もを楽しみました。

薪割りと五右衛門風呂は最高です!
五右衛門は縁に触れても熱くないので子供も安心して入れました。

オプションで頼んだ夕食、美味しかったです。量はかなり多く、翌日の朝にも食べました。
冷蔵庫が小さめなので保存が少し大変でした。

ピザ体験もよかったです。宿主さんお手製のトマトソース、とっても美味しかった!

虫は多いです。
特にハエの多い夏の数日に当たってしまい…
どうなることかと思いましたが、家族総出でハエ叩きをしたり、結果的には良い経験でした。子供は「虫は嫌いだけど、ハエ叩きは楽しかった!」と。いつもなら怖がって大騒ぎする蛾にも、騒がず気にしないようにしてるようで、古民家に成長させてもらったなーと感じました。

宿主のお兄さんと夜一緒に呑んだのも楽しかったです。飄々として静か、でもよく気がついて。静かな情熱を持った人だと思いました。

いわゆる洗練されたリゾートではありません。虫もいるし、網戸もちょっと壊れていたり。でもそんな事を超える懐の深さがある不思議な宿です。

今回は不動尊公園での水遊びの後に行きましたが、次回は霊山と併せて行きたいです。
