Maruyama Village: A 160 Year Old Agricultural Village

The former lifestyle from over 150 years ago still remains in Village Maruyama. In spite of the rapidly changing times, the village has always remained unchanged.

Village Maruyama was created from desires such as “wanting visitors to experience simple beauty.”

The lodging houses are filled with the feelings of “not only being a ‘home to stay in’ during a journey, but also a desire to have visitors experience the fun in the lives of the people that live in this village.”

There are two lodging houses: Akari and Honoho. We will introduce Akari in this article.
