Gojo & Yoshino Region
Stay at a guesthouse in a small village where pure water springs forth
Kurasu Yado HANAREKawakami Village is located at the source of both the Yoshino and Kino-kawa Rivers and has flourished as one of the main forestry areas in the Yoshino region. A young couple moved here and opened this guesthouse after renovating the old house that was formerly the home of a person who worked in the nearby mountain. Guests can cook rice using the old-style kitchen oven and prepare their own meals in a traditional Japanese kitchen. Sitting on the porch one can enjoy the fine view along with the melodic sound of the nearby stream. Staying in this village will give guests a glimpse of a slow and peaceful life.
