play in the rivers and climb mountain streams in summer, harvest rice and pick mushrooms in autumn and let the snowfall on the roof and play in the snow in the winter - our rich and complete menu that you can personally experience goes through the five seasons. You will personally experience things that we no longer can do as much, such as cooking meals in the kitchen range and making nagashi-somen in the garden.
A particularly popular experience is "Hijiridaki Falls water climbing". In a rich headwater where not a single man-made interference has been made, children and adults alike enjoy the climb toward the sacred Hijiridaki Falls. Climb the thrilling mountain stream and wash away the stress of work and study when bathed in the minus ions that fill the holy waterfall.
The rich night menu is also a feature you can personally experience at "Old Japanese-style house Katsumiya". Only for those staying at the beginning of July, the "Firefly Watching Tour" guides you up through the mountain stream, where you can see Genji-Botaru boisterously dancing in the night and to a whimsical secret spot where Himebotaru flashes all the mountain's surface. It will certainly be a memory for your entire life. We also recommend that you personally experience the observation of the world's largest amphibian and nationally designated natural monument, the giant salamander,in the evening mountain stream. Sometimes, it is possible to encounter giant salamanders over 1 meter long, and there is no doubt that you will be moved by the living things inhabiting nature as it is.
