A traditional Okuhida farmhouse Accommodation featuring 100% free-flowing private hot spring water, restored from a nationally designated Tangible Cultural Property.
"Yamasato no Iori Soen" is a restored traditional Hida farmhouse originally built in the late Edo period. The gentle flow of air within the house creates a serene atmosphere, enveloping your heart with warmth. Its century-old history exudes profound charm and evokes the nostalgic spirit of a mountain village. Time flows gently yet steadily here, allowing you to reconnect with yourself amidst the ever-changing beauty of nature. Take your time to enjoy these precious moments you may have almost forgotten.
I found this Accommodation while looking for a nearby place to stay on our way to Kamikochi. It’s a wonderful Accommodation in a quiet mountain village, and everything—the atmosphere, the meals, and the Onsen—was extremely satisfying.We visited with children, and I really appreciate their thoughtfulness, such as preparing the largest Room for us. Although it was near the end of the season, we were able to join the free firefly viewing event and saw about 10 fireflies—it was truly moving!!The Hida beef in the meal was tender, sweet, and absolutely delicious! The Onsen includes both simple spring water and mildly alkaline water; neither has a strong scent or feel, so it’s very refreshing. Some people might find it just slightly hot.The Room was spacious and relaxing, and even in late July it was cool at night—we could turn off the air conditioner, open the windows, and sleep comfortably. We will definitely be back!!*The only thing I noticed: I’m not sure whether it’s due to prefectural policy or the Accommodation’s policy, but there were many foreign staff members (Southeast Asian) working in the dining area. They were friendly and very kind so it didn’t bother us at all, but some guests may feel differently. If you’re concerned, you may want to contact them in advance.*
ももやーん 7/27/2026Since the pandemic ended, it has been difficult to secure a Reservation, but I was finally able to stay here again after a long time. The staff were very attentive, and I was able to enjoy a truly relaxing time.
