Opening November 2026Concept
A place to rest,and to pass things on.
Inaba no Mori is a house in the village of Aganami, Mochigase, Tottori. Our family has lived in the main house for a long time; we restored it with a light hand. The owner still lives on the property.
Look at the mountains through the window. Sleep on a futon laid out on tatami. Walk the gorge in the morning. Nothing special — which we believe is the greatest luxury.
A pause from city life, to think slowly about how to live from here on. For children, mountain time the city cannot offer. We welcome one party a night.
The main house to yourselves
The 1st-floor living-dining room and kitchen, the bath, and three rooms upstairs (a Western room and two tatami rooms). The host lives on the property.

Two beds in the Western room and futon in the tatami rooms, for up to 8 guests. Please check the price on Airbnb.

A year in Mochigase
Spring
Nagashi-bina keeps an older form of the Doll Festival alive. On the 3rd day of the 3rd lunar month (around April), girls in their best kimono set paper dolls afloat on the Sendai River.
Summer
Cool off in the Aganami gorge. At night, stars and the sound of the river.
Autumn
Rice fields after the harvest and the turning mountains. The season for walking the Mochigase Alps.
Winter
The soundless quiet of a snowy day. Winters are cold here, so please bring warm clothes.
Host
Welcomed by the familywho grew up here.
Your host was born on this land and still lives on the property. His son supports him from afar. We cannot offer lavish service, but ask us anything about this place.
