Adorned with other species of trees that have acclimatized with the weather, this outdoor garden space is a nest for meditation, soul-searching, serene moments, and airy relaxation, even as its flowery beauty changes with the seasons. Head to the reading room facing the townscape to read or work, leveraging the incredibly stunning furniture inspired by lotus ponds. Marvel at the interior design defined by handmade Sanchu washi paper while reading, and stare at the yatai floats parading the streets from this room if visiting in October when the autumn Takayama festival is the talk of the town.

Meet Hida loggers in the forests, taste from their bounties and be fascinated by their tales. Plug into history or just relax at the Kusakabe Folk Crafts Museum which is also a private lodge.
