Nestled in Semboku City, Akita Prefecture, "Log House Inn Sennin" offers heartfelt hospitality in the midst of nature. The owner couple, who quit their jobs at age 50, built this genuine log house themselves, offering visitors both surprise and a sense of comfort as if coming home.
At the heart of the inn stands a warm wood stove. During long winter nights, gathering around the crackling fire, sharing stories with family and friends is truly special. The indoor swing, reminiscent of Heidi from the Alps, is particularly popular with children.
The owner's culinary skills bring forth local dishes using regional ingredients. Enjoy the seasonal abundance, such as mountain vegetables and river fish. The care packed into each dish satisfies not just the stomach but also the heart of guests.
The inn boasts a smooth-textured hot spring, and there are numerous other hot spring facilities nearby. Exploring hot springs like Tazawa Lake Onsen, Mizusawa Onsen, and Nyuto Onsen is highly recommended.
In spring, guests can gather mountain vegetables, while in summer, they can enjoy stream fishing, experiencing nature throughout the seasons. Nearby tourist spots like Lake Tazawa or the samurai residences in Kakunodate are perfect for day trips.
The inn is home to cute cats Sakura and the dog Chataro. For animal lovers, interacting with them is one of the delights of staying here.
"Log House Inn Sennin" is not just an accommodation. The warm personalities of the owner couple, the handcrafted space, and the rich nature of Akita weave together a place like a home for the heart. A special experience awaits you, where you can step away from the hustle and bustle of city life and refresh both body and soul in a tranquil passage of time.
