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.
