A Main House Built from Four Thatched Homes

• 🌾Run by a family whose ancestors farmed rice with clear mountain water, brewed sake and tended the forests.
• 🏚️The thatched main building opened in 1977; it was assembled from four relocated thatched houses over five years.
• 🪵Timber cut from the family's own mountains is joined without nails, in the old way, for a real sense of history.

Senshintei Annex

• 🏠Opened in 1989, the annex offers a more affordable stay than the main house.
• 🌲It is generously built with timber cut from the inn's own mountain.
• 🍂Rice husks were mixed into the walls for warmth, one of many careful details.

Miyama Ingredients Through the Seasons

A Miyama cooking inn that pairs a whole thatched house with seasonal mountain food from a hunter host. There is no hot spring, and it is a rural spot about 90 minutes' drive from Kyoto, so a car makes things much easier.
