A Mountain Inn Run by Tosa Jiro Farmers

• 🏡A small red-roofed house deep in the mountains of Hatayama, Aki City, Kochi, formerly known as Hatayama Ikoi no Ie.
• 🌿The hosts say guests come not just to stay but to eat this chicken, which they have raised for about 40 years.

Tosa Jiro Charcoal Grill Course

• 🍲Dinner starts at 18:00 and runs 2–3 hours: Tosa Jiro broth, shabu-shabu of rare cuts, then the charcoal grill.
• 🔥Ten cuts are grilled one piece at a time; the owner or okami grills the first round, then guests grill the rest themselves.
• 🥢The richer Kiwami course has 12 grilled cuts plus mizutaki and an egg porridge; first-timers are advised to choose the standard course.
