There are three inns, Loof Sawanoya, Loof Shonoie and Loof Okanoya and their greatest feature is that they all offer both a complete non-contact and a complete regional experience within the inn by renting an old private house, limited to one group per day.

Visitors can enjoy the unique experience of staying in an old private house with the keywords of "fire," "time," and "land," such as sitting around a bonfire with your family or friends, writing a letter to yourself a year from now at the end of your trip, or doing calligraphy using locally made Japanese paper and soot paper, all within the inn and without worrying about contact with other guests.

Even though the service is completely non-contact, you can rest assured that you will receive online customer service and tourist information guidance using our original application.
