[All 10 Detached Villas with Private Open-Air Baths] Guest rooms nestled in a quiet forest. Savor a luxurious moment with seasonal Ise lobster, the autumn breeze, and Onsen.

Conveniently located about a 30-minute drive from Miyazaki Airport, this Accommodation offers guest rooms nestled in a quiet forest, each with its own open-air bath. For autumn only, we offer a kaiseki course featuring spiny lobster. Enjoy an extraordinary escape as you feel the season deepen on the garden terrace surrounded by autumn leaves or in the forest open-air bath. Meals are served in private dining rooms, with a focus on locally produced ingredients from Miyazaki—an agricultural prefecture—carefully handmade dish by dish using seasonal produce. Perfect for special occasions such as anniversaries, or for an adults-only getaway to soothe everyday fatigue.

  • I stayed at Ne no Hana at Otoiroka no Toki once a long time ago, and because all Rooms are separate villas with spacious, relaxing interiors, I chose to stay again after a round of golf. I was very satisfied with the thoughtful service from the staff. The meals were also excellent, and it was great that additional dishes could be ordered separately. Above all, the head chef personally came to greet us and brought homemade pickles—I enjoyed them so much that I asked for seconds three times. The way the natural flavors of the ingredients were highlighted while still being refined deserves high praise. This Accommodation is highly recommended for anyone who wants to spend quiet, private time. At check-out we were seen off, and it was my first time ever to be personally seen off by the head chef as well. His smile was wonderful and made me want to come back again without hesitation. Since I’m a big foodie, I tend to rate an Accommodation based on its meals; from the very first dish I felt confident it would be great—and in fact I returned to my Room completely full and satisfied. I hope to stop by again around early autumn. Thank you very much for everything.

  • Our stay coincided with rainy weather due to an approaching typhoon. The moment we stepped into the detached cottage, we were welcomed by the soothing aroma of hinoki cypress. The open-air bath was already filled, and each Room had its air conditioning set to a comfortable temperature. The staff kindly guided us through the Room, and everywhere we looked was spotless and thoughtfully prepared, allowing us to relax in complete comfort. The dining experience was also wonderful, with beautiful tableware. When we asked about it, the staff told us this Accommodation has a 100-year history and has been at this location for 19 years. They also shared that some of the tableware has been used since earlier days, which made our conversation even more enjoyable. Both the flavor and presentation of each dish were excellent. The portions were generous, and when we left the restaurant we were even given onigiri as a late-night snack—so I recommend arriving with an appetite. Although it was rainy, we could still hear insects and birds outside. The open-air bath also has a roof, so we were able to enjoy the Onsen without any worries at all. The Accommodation itself was outstanding, but what impressed us most was the staff’s polished manners and heartfelt hospitality. We are truly grateful to have stayed at such a wonderful place—and it is an Accommodation that makes you want to return just to see the staff again.

Introduction of the Accommodation

Inoya Valley

A secluded, otherworldly retreat nestled at the foot of the Inohae Valley, far from everyday life.

With every deep breath, nature fills you. This is another world—secluded far from the presence of others. At the end of the mountain path lies a threshold in time, where moss-covered stones, dappled sunlight through the trees, and the gentle murmur of a stream are all that greet you. Not just a “stay,” but an experience of truly blending in. Time spent here—recognized as a Forest Therapy Base®—offers generous space to let go of everyday life and become one with the forest’s quiet.

Guest Room

Limited to 10 groups per day — all rooms are private detached villas for a secluded stay.

Ten private villas in total—each a standalone, detached rental. Here, you can spend time undisturbed, listening only to the sounds of the mountains and water, and breathing in the scent of moss. In the open-air bath with natural Onsen water, the murmur of the stream echoes as seasonal trees sway beyond the rising steam. A luxury of surrendering to stillness—limited to just 10 groups per day.

Open-air bath

Open-air bath in the guest room with the soothing sound of a mountain stream

Each private detached guest room features an open-air bath where the gentle sound of the mountain stream echoes softly. As you sink into the tub, the murmuring clear water flowing nearby eases your mind and washes away everyday fatigue. Surrounded by moss-covered rocks and lush greenery, the space offers a deep sense of calm, as if you were being embraced by nature itself. The quiet melody of the stream Clears both body and mind, guiding you into a peaceful retreat.

View

A hidden Accommodation where you can savor the natural beauty of all four seasons and the blessings of each season.

In January, the early-blooming Nichinan Kanzakura welcomes you in full splendor, while the moss garden adds color to winter’s quiet calm. With the arrival of spring, mountain cherry blossoms and 10,000 cherry trees at Hanatateyama Park burst into bloom. In April, fresh greenery and seasonal wild mountain-vegetable dishes refresh the spirit. From May, Genji fireflies, Heike fireflies, and Hime fireflies create a magical scene on the property, and the Jacaranda Flower Festival signals the start of early summer. In June, when hydrangeas are in full bloom, a local craft beer festival is also held, and pale pink silk tree blossoms add an early-summer charm. In autumn, enjoy spiny lobster delicacies as October’s Japanese toad lilies and November’s autumn foliage deepen the seasonal colors. In winter, you can relax by the warmth of the fireplace as time passes quietly.

Notice from the Accommodation

  • Notice of the opening of “Forest Concert 2026”.

    Announcement: “Forest Concert 2026” Begins.


    A special moment to experience live music up close as it resonates through the forest.
    Blending with the murmur of the river and the sound of the wind, this is a soothing experience you can only enjoy here.

    Guests who have joined us in the past have shared many wonderful comments, such as:
    “I’m so glad I got to hear it.”
    “It gave me energy.”
    “I feel lighter.”

    In autumn, delicate Japanese toad lilies bloom in the forest.
    Soon the trees turn into a tapestry of color, and in winter the air becomes crisp and clear.
    Enjoy Kitago Forest as it changes with the seasons—and beautiful melodies echoing through its quiet stillness.
    During your stay, we invite you to savor this time woven from nature’s transitions and music.

  • Notice: Renovation Work for All Guestroom “Forest Terrace” Areas

    To enhance your in-room comfort, we will be renovating the terraces of all 10 guest rooms.

    Construction period: Monday, August 17 – Monday, November 30 (scheduled)

    Work will not be carried out in all rooms at once; renovations will proceed one room at a time.

    Accommodation will remain available as usual during this period. We will take every precaution and work carefully to minimize any impact on your stay.

    Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

  • Why not take a walk through the autumn forest and discover the little signs of fall?

    October is when the delicate wildflower “Hototogisu” (toad lily), a herald of autumn, comes into bloom.
    Its quiet beauty, blooming softly in the forest, is one of the season’s special pleasures.
    At Nenohana, for the entire month of October, we will bring back our popular springtime “Forest Stamp Rally,” now with an autumn theme.

    This autumn flower is said to have been named for its beautiful speckled pattern on white or purple petals, reminiscent of the markings on a cuckoo’s breast.
    And within our grounds, Miyazaki’s rare “Kibana-no-Hototogisu” will also bloom with yellow flowers.

    We hope you will visit, walk through the forest, and truly feel the charm of these autumn wildflowers blooming quietly among the trees.
    The Forest Stamp Rally is Nenohana’s small invitation to welcome you during this season.

    With the card you receive at check-in in hand, take a stroll through the woods and walk along sun-dappled paths as you search for stamps placed around the property.
    Collect each stamp at its location and enjoy your time freely until dinner.

    Guests who collect all stamps will receive one complimentary drink at dinner.

    As the forest gradually shifts into autumn colors, please enjoy Nenohana’s own “little search for autumn.”
