Be Yourself
Concept
Just As You Are
Arinomama — a Japanese word meaning “just as you are”: unadorned, natural, and true to yourself.
The beauty of bare wood.
The scent of fresh country air.
Light that shifts with the passing hours.
Beautiful, simply by being.
And so are you.
What you want to do, what you love, what feels good.
Let your shoulders relax — no pretenses, no holding back.
While you are here, we simply wish for you to be yourself.

◆ check in
Check-in
A solitary inn resting on a gentle hill. Cross the small bridge over the softly flowing river, and you are almost there. On arrival, take a moment to breathe and relax with a seasonal welcome drink. Our 200-year-old kominka farmhouse always greets its guests with warmth.

Activities
Close your eyes and listen: the murmur of the river, the splash of a leaping fish. A chorus of frogs, birdsong, the sound of the wind. Step into the garden to breathe in the scent of herbs, touch wildflowers you have never seen, and be soothed by the seasonal blooms. Try splitting firewood, a true countryside experience — a bath heated with wood you chopped yourself feels extra special. Soak in the hot spring that rises right here on our grounds, let the earth’s warmth sink in, then cool off in the evening breeze. Unwind your hard-working mind and body, and give in to a pleasant tiredness.

◆ dinner
Dinner
Our menu changes with the seasons and with each day. Hunters who know exactly when game is at its best, grandmothers who venture into the mountains for wild vegetables and mushrooms, farmers who raise their produce as lovingly as their own children — the satoyama countryside is full of food experts. Enjoy their gifts together with steaming rice cooked over a traditional kamado stove.

◆ rest / sleep
Rest & Sleep
The nights here are wonderfully quiet. Take the chance to step away from the TV and your phone, and give yourself over to the sounds and scents of the evening. Look up, and the wide sky is scattered with countless stars. Precious time with the people who matter to you, where conversation flows naturally in a comfortable rhythm. “What shall we do tomorrow?” Wrapped in a soft, downy bed, happy thoughts drift by — and before you know it, you are dreaming.

◆ breakfast
Breakfast
Mornings are usually a race against the clock, but today, listen to your body. In the crisp air, surrounded by deep green, warm yourself in the onsen. A morning that begins slowly, at your own pace. From somewhere drifts the good scent of rice being cooked. Gentle fermented dishes and freshly picked fruit begin a wonderful day.
