The name “Maroudo Guest House” comes from the ancient word “marebito” or “maroudo,” which means “visitor from afar.”
We would like to invite customers to live among the families of the village and offer them a heartfelt welcome so that they can enjoy their “mura tabi” (village excursion)—just like how the villagers of old entertained their guests.
Our guests enjoy their dining experience through creative dishes that use local ingredients.
The guest house is an old private residence that the owner renovated using trees he cut down himself. It places emphasis on conversation, food, and relaxation.

Surrounded by mountains, the guest house is located near Akimoto Shrine and a giant katsura tree that is estimated to be 500 years old. Here, you can experience both mystery and nature.



- The guest rooms attached to the main building are comforting spaces filled with the faint scent of wood. There are no television sets or radios in the rooms—only the soothing sounds of nature. Spend time in the shared dining room that looks out on the seasonal scenery and bask in the Akimoto Village experience.

- I search for ingredients all throughout the seasons. While cooking, I always think about what sort of flavor I am creating. Hearing those I serve exclaim “This is delicious!” is what keeps me motivated.
The water used in the meals and baths at Maroudo Guest House comes from a spring in Mt. Morotsuka, which is the same sacred water source as the Akimoto Shrine.
