Guest House TERUYA.
Drive about 10 minutes
up a tree-lined mountain road,
and a traditional Japanese house quietly appears.
A peaceful hideaway,
surrounded by nature.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
