Fukusaki Town is located in the southwest of Hyogo Prefecture, formerly known as "Banshu" or "Harima Province." In the past, it flourished as a key transportation hub where roads linking the east and west and the north and south intersected. On May 3, 1956, Tahara Village, Yachikusa Village, and the former Fukusaki Town merged to form the town we see today. Even today, the town remains an important transportation hub, with the JR Bantan Line, Bantan Link Road, and National Route 312 running north to south, and the Chugoku Expressway and Prefectural Route Miki-Shiso Line running east to west. Furthermore, Fukusaki Town is a rural city surrounded by lush green mountains, with the Ichikawa River flowing through the center of town, and is a region rich in history and cultural heritage.

``The NIPPONIA Harima Fukusaki Library Maison'' is a hotel built by renovating the Mikiya Residence, an important tangible cultural property designated by Hyogo Prefecture, and the former Tsujikawa Post Office, a nationally registered tangible cultural property. ``Miki Family Residence'' was founded by Kunio Yanagida, a folklorist from Fukusaki Town, who spent his childhood reading a large amount of books. It is also the place where he wrote the book, 1970).
In this AR, you can enjoy watching the monsters that appear in Kunio Yanagida's books and are a popular tourist content in Fukusaki Town move with the theme of ``How this room was used at the time.'' For example, in the ``annex'' where Kunio Yanagita is said to have indulged in reading the books kept on the second floor, a reading monster appears. In addition to the ``annex,'' ``Mikiya Residence'' has a total of five rooms named ``Aneya,'' ``Uchikura,'' ``Kakukura,'' and ``Ukura,'' and there is also a building in the ``Former Tsujikawa Post Office'' area. There are two rooms, ``〒201'' and ``〒202.''

There are three types of monsters in total, including tengu (pictured), and they are scheduled to be replaced every four months. Look forward to seeing what other monsters besides tengu will appear during your stay.
