The accommodation at Maruyama Village is a 150-year-old traditional house that has been newly renovated and refurbished as a "Property." The "village" lifestyle has changed with the times, but the "scenery" here remains unchanged, just as it was in the past. There is something here that cannot be felt in modern urban life. In the city, "change" is often perceived as "disappearance," and we are living in an era where people are losing interest in what has been lost. At Maruyama, "what remains unchanged amidst change" is still here. If you feel that you have "forgotten something" in the midst of modern life, please come to Maruyama to rediscover that "something you may have forgotten." Maruyama Village is neither a formal Hotel nor a luxurious Ryokan. It is a place where, during a long journey, you might feel drawn to the lights glowing in the twilight. A place where you feel like saying, "I'm home," and where the hospitality conveys a heartfelt "Welcome back." We sincerely look forward to welcoming you "home."

We offer two rooms in the main building of oito and one room in the annex, each uniquely designed with its own character. You can experience craftsmanship and artistry from both Japan and abroad throughout the spaces. We hope you enjoy your stay as if living seamlessly beyond your everyday life.
