PROFILE​

I am originally from Kyoto and lived in Uji City for a long time, but I have lived in Kashihara City, Nara Prefecture for more than 20 years. I am fascinated by the three mountains of Yamato in the city, the old Edo period townscape of Imai-cho and the scenery of Asuka Village, and I am impressed once again by the depth of nature and history of Nara Prefecture through my hobby of trekking along the Kumano Pilgrimage Route and Omine Okudome Road that runs from Nara Prefecture to Wakayama Prefecture. The charm of southern Nara is that you can walk around and feel the sound of the wind and the fragrance of flowers while visiting ancient burial mounds and famous places scattered here and there.Nara Prefecture has also been known since ancient times as the home of medicinal herbs, and we offer meals that utilize organic ingredients.We strive to guide our guests to spend a relaxing and memorable time in accordance with their wishes.
