Local travel info happily provided by our proprietor. Tyler is an American who would be glad to share insight into his adopted home here in the Japanese countryside. He may just offer to take you for a drive in the evening to see the night view of the Zenkoji Plain from high up on Obasute Mountain.

Or, for dinner, enjoy our town's nightlife. This town is special because it is an onsen -- feel free to use our wooden geta sandals and walk around in your yukata. We don't just have any ol' yakitori, sushi and soba shops. Our closest yakitori shop is run by Yumi, an ex-geisha whose lack of English doesn't get in the way from having a great conversation. The nearest sushi-ya is run by the funniest, baldest sushi chef. The coolest udon restaurant, Kohaku, features a traditional interior and udon served in a pot hung from a hook on a hearth, and seasoned with the spiciest daikon radish. There's also a retro restaurant with the best tofu steak you'll ever have, and many, many more. We'll gladly walk you over and introduce you to the owners and get you situated with your order.
