I have a child in the first grade.
On his way to school in the morning, he has no time to spare, but he will look at the fish in the river or sit beside the rice paddies.
I try to tell him to hurry up or he will be late, but he has more important things to do,
I stop, thinking that my son must have more important thoughts.
I realize the importance of things I had not seen before.
And how roughly I had been living my life became clear to me.
From earthquakes and natural disasters to social problems such as Corona, the world is now at a major turning point.
It is precisely because we live in such a time when it is easy to feel lonely and stagnant, that we need to take on the role of communication between people, food, nature, art, and so on,
I would like you to pause for a moment, like a child, at this place that is responsible for communication between people and their diverse values.
We offer a home-like hospitality extended by reinterpreting affluence, in other words, our idea of a nostalgic future.
Nothing would give us greater pleasure than to see the smiles on the faces of our guests there.

- Past and Future
-
This building was originally a village headman's house where our ancestors have lived since 1842.
On the premises are the row-house gate, the main house, the rice storehouse, and the garden, which have been preserved for 200 years.
In 2005, the rice storehouse was reconstructed and a French restaurant was opened.
The owner is the 8th generation of this family.The owner owns and operates the restaurant, and he is determined to keep it as it is for the next 200 years,
This is why we decided to build an accommodation facility on the mountain behind the restaurant.The old and the new.
Crossing the stone bridge in the middle of the mountain,
Please do enjoy it.
- Origin of the name
-
We want peace in our hearts and in the world.
At least in this place, I wish time would flow slowly.
With this wish in mind, we chose the name "Gofu Jyuu".
Also,
The final deciding factor was the miracle that the last four digits of our telephone number happened to be 0510.
