greeting
hello everyone.
This is Yokoyama, the host.
This is a woodland
in the center of Awaji Island.
Surrounded by a village of farmers
The scenery hasn't changed
since I moved here a few years ago.
I'm relaxing.
This time, I decided to run a guest house.
This is a 170-year-old traditional house with ibushi Awaji tiles.
The inside of the mansion has been renovated in a modern style.
In spring, the wild cherry blossoms are in full bloom and you can hear the nightingales, and in early summer, fireflies dance wildly in the stream in front.
It stands in a valley village in the center of Awaji Island.
Our dog Taro Kuroshiba is waiting for you.

Awaji Island is an island located in the eastern part of the Seto Inland Sea. It is the 11th largest island in Japan, including the four main islands, and the largest island in the Seto Inland Sea, with a population of approximately 120,000 people, second only to the main island of Okinawa.
It is surrounded on all sides by Osaka Bay, the Harimanada Sea, and the Kii Channel, and opens into the Akashi Strait at Matsuhozaki at the northern end, into the Kitan Strait at Oishibana at the southeastern end, and into the Naruto Strait at Tosaki at the southwest end. It is connected to Honshu and Shikoku by the Kobe-Naruto Route of the Honshu-Shikoku Connecting Road, and the Onaruto Bridge was completed in 1985 and the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge was completed in 1998, making the north and south connected.
It belongs to Hyogo Prefecture in the Kinki region, and is currently divided into three cities from the north: Awaji City, Sumoto City, and Minami-Awaji City. It is also known as the island of domestic production in Japanese mythology.
It has existed as Awaji Province since ancient times, and as a province of food, it presented food to the imperial court, and in the Edo period, the Hachisuka family ruled along with Awa Province. Due to the Kogo Incident, which was caused by a conflict between the Inada family, the chief retainer of Awajisumoto Castle, and the Hachisuka family, the castle was incorporated into Hyogo Prefecture instead of Tokushima Prefecture in the abolition of feudal domains and establishment of prefectures.
The climate is warm and agriculture is thriving. It is especially well known for its dairy farming and onion cultivation. Until World War II, it was a fortified area and did not develop as a tourist destination.
However, after it was incorporated into the national park in 1950, it began to be closely photographed in conjunction with Naruto. Since 2016, companies from outside the island have set their sights on the west coast, which has been neglected and called Nishiura, and are developing tourism with the beautiful sunsets of the Harimanada Sea as a highlight, and tourist facilities are popping up one after another. . It's starting to get crowded.
