About the accommodations
The Ueda residence’s motto is doing nothing special. For that reason, it is a very ordinary farmhouse in appearance as well as interior. You will feel the warmth of the home. And, if you ascend the mountain from the Ueda residence for 5 minutes by car, you will reach the best location that commands a panoramic view of the Seto Inland Sea. Please enjoy the contrast between the ordinary and the extraordinary.
Bath and amenities
You can stretch out your legs in the spacious bathtub of the Ueda residence. Amenities for bathing and for getting ready in the morning include a toothbrush, shampoo, body-wash, cleansing foam, and hair dryer.

As a matter of course, the menu may vary depending on the season and circumstances. If you would like your meals served with these ingredients, please make a reservation in advance.
