Sasayuri-ann
Scenic mountains of a national park, the quaint lives of locals and the ever-changing skies: enjoy the spectacular scenery from the fireside of a thatched roof home nestled in a mountain village. Indulge in a leisurely stay embraced in the seasonal landscape as you feel the nature and tradition of Fukano.

Sasayuri-ann Ozunu
With just one reservation taken per night, the sheltered villa is perfect for a relaxing getaway with your loved ones, also helping to avoid the “Three Cs.” The newly built thatched roof home offers superb views and modern facilities for a comfortable stay. It may feel as if staying in a renowned temple or shrine, as the premises house a 100-year-old tea room and three different gardens: the landscape rock garden, Japanese traditional garden and tea room garden. The view from the open hearth room is truly breathtaking and calming, with the three-layer garden of the landscape rock garden in front, then the pine tree garden, followed by the stunning mountains of the national park. It is as if traveling into a modern Japanese sky garden.

Sasayuri-ann Zao
Enjoy a relaxing stay at a secluded thatched roof folk house with just your family in the one-reservation per night inn. The 200-year-old traditional thatched roof house has been restored and modernized with amenities, garnering three Michelin stars. The traditional Japanese interior and breathtaking views from the open hearth room and the engawa (veranda), such as the beautiful scenery of the rice terrace and farm village against the mountains of the national park, create a truly soothing atmosphere. Travel back in time to a Japanese mountain village from 200 years ago.
