up a tree-lined mountain road,

A peaceful hideaway,
surrounded by nature.
Otoyo: Surrounded by the Yoshino River and Mountains
Otoyo is a small mountain town,
blessed by the Yoshino River
and surrounded by beautiful mountains.
It is a place far removed
from the convenience of the city,
where nature is always close by.
There’s Nothing Here—and That’s the Beauty of It.
Around the guesthouse,
there are no convenience stores,
supermarkets or vending machines.
And that’s perfectly fine.
Step away from everyday convenience
and spend some time
simply slowing down.
Listen Closely to the Sounds of Nature
The beauty of vibrant green trees.
The songs of birds.
And time that seems
to move slowly and quietly.
Surrounded by nature,
take the time to enjoy
doing absolutely nothing.
A Nostalgic Taste of Mountain Life
Staying in this traditional house
may bring back a feeling
of somewhere strangely familiar.
It can feel almost like
stepping back in time
to an earlier, quieter era of Japan.
About the Surrounding Area
There are no convenience stores,
supermarkets or vending machines
around the guesthouse.
Please keep in mind that
this accommodation is located
deep in a natural mountain setting.
Come prepared to enjoy
the peaceful atmosphere
of rural Otoyo.
