An English Inn is non-smoking for everyone's comfort.

It is located three minutes from Inawashiro Resort, 10 minutes to Inawashiro Ski (which is holding the 2009 FIS Freestyle World Championships) and Minero, 17 minutes to ALTS Bandai, and 28 minutes to Gran Deco. Buses are available to most major resorts.

We are located in a forest and the beautiful Inawaashiro lake (the 4th largest lake in Japan) is 5 minutes by car. A convenience store is 1 minute and some supermarkets, big chemists are 6 to 7 minutes by car.

We have a high rating for providing excellent and varied food, using only the freshest ingredients. Our bread, all five types, is made on the premises using local flour. The Inn's Onsen are highly regarded, and the town's nearest ski slopes are less crowded than in other popular Japanese ski areas. The owner was born in England, lived in Australia for many years, and so we can rightly claim we are the only truly English speaking Inn in Inawshiro. We also promise excellent service and warm hospitality.
