Kaneki Inn at Sawatari
A Folk Style Inn to Experience Traditional Japan
Relax and rejeuvenate just two hours
from Tokyo in Gunma Prefecture
”Kaneki is one of the most relaxing places I have encountered as an Amerincan living in Japan. I think it would be a great experience for visitors to Japan as well.
The owner, Hisako, spent 7 years living in the US, and is able to explain the interesting customs of Japanese inn culture. You can get back to basics here; rest, hike the surrounding hills where you can hear monkeys playing in the trees - seriously! -and enjoy the center of the inn - its amazing bath. There are few stores or commercials centers nearby.
Simple country style meals can be prepared on request, or you can bring your own food and use the communal kitchen and outside BBQ. A place like this is a real find in Japan!” Cheryl H., Tokyo
