Enjoy the motherly taste home cooking. Why not come and try? Michan is the hostess of this guest house, who sells local dishes, such as saba zushi, sushi roll, and sansai-okowa (sweet rice with wild mountain vegetables), at Michi-no-Eki. The tastes of these prepared dishes have quite a good reputation.

About the accommodations

宿舎01 宿舎02

Surrounded by plants and flowers, the appearance of Farm Guest House Michan is adorable. And it’s no wonder because Michan is a veteran who has been involved in group plant and flower planting and arrangement for more than 25 years. Making contact with the planting and arrangement group that seems simple but is actually deeply thought out will refine your own artistic sensibility. Also, since crafts made by her husband having an artisan spirit are placed here and there, pick them up, if given the okay, and stimulate your sensibility in a likewise manner.

【Drawing pictures on message cards (reservation required)】

宿舎01

You can learn the art of drawing pictures on message cards for each season from Toshiko chan, an 80-year-old master of drawing pictures on message cards.
