Kitago Neiroka no Toki Nemunohana

A secluded otherworldly retreat, far from the crowds, nestled at the foot of Ibae Valley.

With every deep breath, nature fills you. This is a world apart—secluded from the bustle of everyday life. At the end of the mountain path, you’ll find a threshold in time, welcomed only by moss-covered stones, dappled sunlight through the trees, and the gentle murmur of a stream. Not just a “stay,” but an experience of truly blending in. Time spent here—an officially certified Forest Therapy Base®—offers a generous pause to leave daily life behind and become one with the forest’s quiet.

A hidden Accommodation where you can savor the natural beauty of all four seasons and seasonal delights

In January, the brilliantly blooming Nichinan Kanzakura No. 1—known as Japan’s earliest-blooming cherry blossom—welcomes you, 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 cuisine 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 toad lilies and November’s autumn foliage deepen the seasonal colors. In winter, you’ll be wrapped in the warmth of the fireplace as peaceful time flows by.
