Cottage in Yamagata
4.86 out of 5 average rating, 269 reviews

90 minutes from Nagoya. An inn where you can have a BBQ while looking at the clear stream in the secluded Marubara. Tent sauna rental for a fee

The cottage is located on the banks of the clear Marukawa River. Gifu is famous for Shirakawago and Hida Takayama, but Enbara is also a nice place in the mountains, although it is inconvenient. The scenery of the mountains and rivers is beautiful, and it is a place rich in nature where monkeys and deer appear. The Enbara River is known as the most beautiful underground water in Japan and a famous spot for its light, and the inn is located about 800 meters from the spring water point of the underground water, so the water transparency is excellent. You can also see the light from the inn. On summer mornings, depending on the weather conditions, you can see a magical view of the sunlight pouring through the trees. The water in the Marukara River is cold, but in summer the children play in the river energetically. The riverbed is much cooler, so people can escape the heat and cool off. A little downstream there are several river play spots, and the water is clear everywhere and it feels good to swim beautifully. The water of the river shines emerald green in a slightly deep place, and the scenery of rocks and moss is also wonderful, and it is a healing spot where the mind is purified. There is a deck facing the river on the second floor of the inn, so you can relax while watching the river, BBQ, swing in a hammock while listening to the river, or refresh yourself in the tent sauna.

川辺の一軒宿 Togu tsubakiyama

Checkout is by 2:00 pm so that you can enjoy a leisurely stay. 😊 This is a renovated room in a traditional Japanese house on a property surrounded by trees, which has become a private room accommodation. There are no buildings as far as the eye can see, and you can enjoy the sound of the river, the singing of the birds, and a sense of unity with nature. The water is also spring water (the water quality has been tested and is drinkable). Depending on the season, some people occasionally come to enjoy the river or head to Kappa Falls (150 m from the inn), passing by the river next to the inn. If the weather is good, you can also enjoy a BBQ or campfire with the food you bring (we may ask you to refrain from doing so depending on the season and weather). (Please be careful when handling fire.) Rest assured that we also provide cooking utensils, a microwave, and tableware. 😊 Please make sure to prepare food and drinks, such as dinner, before check-in.(It takes about 20 minutes by car to the supermarket) The last 400m to the accommodation is narrow and difficult to see, Once you arrive at "Camu Tsubaki-yama", we will guide you to the accommodation by car.This is also a place with a great view of Mt. Aso, so please look forward to it 🌸

Shodoshima, 30 seconds to the sea, you can see the sea from any room

This house is built on the quiet seaside in Shodoshima Town. The house was built just for dusk watching the sea and the sunset.Therefore, I apologize for the large number of stairs on the terrace, but I can never call it barrier-free.(I will do my best to help with my luggage, etc.) However, at the end of the high terrace, there is a glittering, calm and beautiful sea in Setouchi, and a kane-colored sunset that changes faces every day. Forget your time and enjoy the extraordinary. *We are currently not allowing pets to stay. If you'd like some, please contact us before booking. The interior is accessed by climbing the terrace stairs.It is not handicap accessible. Please be sure to accompany small children or adults when climbing up and down the stairs. Also, on rainy days, there are many stairs, so it may be inconvenient. The road in front of the accommodation is not paved. Please note that this may be an inconvenience. There is a lot of nature around the inn, so there are definitely insects.Sometimes insects come in together when opening and closing windows and doors.(Especially at night, insects gather in the light of the inn) We are very sorry, but please refrain from staying if you are not good with insects.

"Reset · Reborn · Restart" Described by people overseas as the "Aegean Sea of Japan", "With a beautiful view over a wide area, there is nothing better anywhere in the world" the Seto Inland Sea is so scenic that it is said to be the "Japanese Aegean Sea" by people from overseas. The 88 sacred sites of Shikoku, opened by Kobo Daishi Kukai, Shikoku is a place where the culture of hospitality, represented by the "Osettai" that surrounds it, is alive and well. Nowadays, I hear that many people come from abroad to seek the purpose of life and to heal their minds.   A culture of rich nature and hospitality. And a peaceful climate. The "healing" power generated from them is what fascinates people.   What you can do because of this place. Something that can only be done in this place.   Healing the mind, healing the body, We want to provide a time and space to pause and listen to your inner voice.

Damurak - Jiri Mountain, Seomjin River, and a farm in the forest!

It is completely embraced in the arms of Jirisan, and the Seomjin River looks beautiful in the farm. We are with the farm in the beautiful forest, so you can relax your mind and body. Experience an empty mind under the starry night sky. Our Damurak Space and Baekpopnori Farm are going to create a "trip to take care of the earth". If the form of travel has been consumption and satisfaction, wouldn't traveling with "emptiness and care" be a wonderful travel scene that our generation is making for the next generation? The journey of "emptying and caring" begins with simplifying the food you eat and minimizing waste. Grilling and eating meat can now be removed from your travel to-do list. Why not try the experience of emptying your body and mind lightly and becoming one with nature at our farm and accommodation? After your booking is confirmed, please contact us directly by text or phone. This is because Airbnb Talk tends to fail to give clear notifications.

Enjoy the view of Lake Nojiri, with a private sauna, Anoie (あの家)

This house overlooks Lake Nojiri and has a superb view. There are several ski resorts (Myoko, Kurohime, Madarao) about 15-20 minutes away by car, making it a perfect base for winter sports. Enjoy the wood stove sauna and the water bath with a view. There are no private houses around, so you can listen to music and watch movies loudly. Because it is a house located deep in the mountains, we take the best measures, but in the warm season, insects come out. It snows a lot in winter. In autumn, fallen leaves dance. You will also need to adjust the wood stove fire yourself. It's not an easy house to live in, but we promise you a great view and experience. Enjoy cooking with a counter kitchen with a view, condiments and cooking utensils. (There is no equipment for BBQ)
