The hot spring water that gushes out from 500 meters underground is a 'Sodium-Chloride Strong Saline Spring,' known for its high concentration even within the prefecture.

A hot spring is recognized as such if it contains 1g or more of effective components per liter, but our facility's hot spring contains an astonishing 27 times that standard, making it our pride and joy—a natural hot spring!

This is a lodging with only seven rooms, converted from a 108-year-old elementary school located in Akiyamago, a hidden natural paradise spanning Niigata and Nagano Prefectures. The cuisine, which creatively uses seasonal mountain delicacies like spring wild vegetables and autumn mushrooms as well as locally sourced ingredients, is very popular. The former gymnasium features a giant sugoroku board game, which is an artwork from the 'Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale' held in the region. Using the entire gymnasium, the enormous sugoroku game provides enjoyable content for both adults and children. The lodging serves Japanese-style creative cuisine abundantly incorporating mountain vegetables and other fresh produce. Care is taken to create dishes that balance flavor, presentation, and nutrition, allowing guests to savor the natural taste of the ingredients. The dining tables are adorned with seasonal wildflowers picked from the surrounding mountains, and heartfelt hospitality is offered to ensure guests enjoy their precious meals. An elementary school that has continued to watch over many children in the 'Hidden Region of Akiyama-go.' We hope you enjoy your stay while feeling the memories of such a school.
