Peaceful days with a private forest. Enjoy the sound of birds, the sound of the wind, and the flickering of light in the forest from a comfortable distance.
Located at the southern foot of Mt. Yatsugatake at an altitude of 1150 m, it is a place where people who seek the nature and climate of the highlands live, rather than a tourist destination. Spring brings new greenery and buds, cool summers, colorful autumn leaves, and the warmth of a wood stove. There are also plenty of seasonal activities, such as skiing, hiking, river play, hot springs, and Hokuto City, which is surrounded by famous peaks, has many viewpoints where you can enjoy views of Mt. Yatsugatake, the Southern Alps, and Mt. Fuji. There is also an abundance of spring water. Please try to find them.
The building was designed and constructed by the Tokei team, and the team operates it as an inn for many people to use. The distinctive architecture is a redesign of an old townhouse using modern construction methods and traditional materials.
Inside, you'll find artwork such as murals and stone carvings of black birds, as well as books and photo collections selected by the host, which you can take your time to enjoy during your stay.
* The capacity is 4 people, but if it is only adults, the number of people who can stay comfortably is up to 3 people.
* The price shown is for up to 2 people, and 10,000 yen will be added to the accommodation fee for each additional person.

Mural
This facility was designed and built by the operator, Matsuno-mae Tozoku.
One of the carpenters who worked on it is Yutaka Yukita, who is also a painter. For some reason, after the construction of our company was completed, we began to paint pictures on the walls. The motif is what impressed the artist during the construction process of the building, which is a black bird and a forest.
They are painted in several places in the building, so please enjoy the murals during your stay.
