Satoyama Guesthouse Suga Salon is right next to Suga Shrine, where they worship the hero of the Legend of Izumo, Susanoo-no-Mikoto. The guesthouse sits at the end of a tree-lined approach.
The old house, originally built 70 years ago, despite being wonderfully renovated, retains its old fashioned charm. During the summer, you can gaze out at the verdant garden filled with fireflies, unwinding in the relaxing space around you.
The owner, Mr Mihara, moved from Osaka five years ago. Mr Mihara has over 30 years' experience in floral design. That much is evident from the elegant wildflower beds next to the porch. Not only that, he is also an experienced therapist. The inside of the house doubles as a salon. "I hope that visitors can enjoy the flowers and relax, and get some respite from the fatigue of daily life," says Mr Mihara. Arranging flowers, stretching at the nearby mountains – take a breather in the great outdoors, and cleanse your mind. How about taking a break at this old house nestled in the mountains?
