"Secret Place to Stay, Kototokisu, with a Suspension Bridge, Sauna & Bonfire"

Kototokisu is a hidden inn nestled in the mountains of Shizuoka City, limited to one group per day. The name "Kototokisu" comes from the sound of the bird "hototogisu", which announces the arrival of summer. In an era where people value "things" more than "people", it was born as a place to provide "people" and "time" where you can feel the calm flow and time and spend time to your heart's content. It is a place where you can experience a peaceful time and precious "time" in the quiet nature. Crossing the 65-meter suspension bridge, you will find an extraordinary space that feels like you have stepped into another world. A special time away from everyday life awaits you, surrounded by the babbling of the river and the greenery of the trees. The facility is equipped with a private sauna to refresh your mind and body while feeling the nature. At night, you can enjoy a quiet moment while looking up at the starry sky around the campfire. At the BBQ, you can enjoy a full-fledged BBQ with your own ingredients, and the kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering. It can accommodate up to 6 people, so you can spend a special time with your family and friends. Enjoy a luxurious accommodation experience that can only be enjoyed here, surrounded by silence and nature at "Kototokisu".

Japanese-style lighting/BBQ/Irori/15 minutes by car to Ena City/Private rental for one group per day/Old house Mahoroba

Why we created this private lodging, "Mahoroba" 1. I want people to know a little bit about the wonderful illuminations in Japan. 2. I want to create a spot that can be enjoyed at night, and I want you to value the time you spend with friends and lovers. 3. I want you to experience and enjoy the charm of the Higashi-nochi area of Gifu That's how I feel. 　The charm of our private lodging is the magical lighting in the house. In the evening, warm lighting soothes the heart and creates a special atmosphere. You can also BBQ or dine around the fireplace under the lights. Experience an extraordinary space with friends in this natural environment where you can see the stars in the sky. 　There are also plenty of sightseeing spots, such as the historic castle town of Iwamura, Japan Taisho Village, and Magome-juku, which has a nostalgic atmosphere.
