90 minutes from Nagoya. An inn where you can have a BBQ while looking at the clear stream in the secluded Marubara. Tent sauna rental for a fee

The cottage is located on the banks of the clear Marukawa River. Gifu is famous for Shirakawago and Hida Takayama, but Enbara is also a nice place in the mountains, although it is inconvenient. The scenery of the mountains and rivers is beautiful, and it is a place rich in nature where monkeys and deer appear. The Enbara River is known as the most beautiful underground water in Japan and a famous spot for its light, and the inn is located about 800 meters from the spring water point of the underground water, so the water transparency is excellent. You can also see the light from the inn. On summer mornings, depending on the weather conditions, you can see a magical view of the sunlight pouring through the trees. The water in the Marukara River is cold, but in summer the children play in the river energetically. The riverbed is much cooler, so people can escape the heat and cool off. A little downstream there are several river play spots, and the water is clear everywhere and it feels good to swim beautifully. The water of the river shines emerald green in a slightly deep place, and the scenery of rocks and moss is also wonderful, and it is a healing spot where the mind is purified. There is a deck facing the river on the second floor of the inn, so you can relax while watching the river, BBQ, swing in a hammock while listening to the river, or refresh yourself in the tent sauna.

Want to spend a relaxing time in a cottage in the woods? With a kitchen and wood stove, it can accommodate up to 3 people

ROKKONOMAD is located in the forest of Rokko Mountain. It is located at an altitude of about 780 m, and there is a temperature difference of about 4-5 degrees from the city, so it is cooler in summer than the city, and in winter you can experience a climate that you cannot experience in the city. Would you like to enjoy an extraordinary stay surrounded by nature with your family or group? You can get to the city in 15 minutes by car from Rokko Mountain. If possible, I hope you can stay for a long time, enjoy living in the mountains, and go out to the city and rural areas. We recommend long-term stays at this facility, and long-term stays are more affordable. Parents can also work while their children are playing at the athletic facility (Glynia) on Mt. Rokko. The main building next door also operates as a shared office, and you can use the office and conference room separately (for a fee). Meals are made in the kitchen in the cottage. Please contact us about kitchen facilities, such as renting a BBQ stove. We will do our best to make your stay comfortable, so please let us know if you need anything.

As a Japanese cultural experience, there is a calligraphy lesson by a young female calligrapher. Reservations are required and it costs 1,000 yen per person for about an hour.
