Upon the passing of the former owner, the splendid Futamata-sō was refurbished as an annex of the Ani-no-Mori Buna Hotel.
Every year local food tastings are held in the spacious traditional tatami rooms.
According to legend, Nekko village was founded by defeated warriors fleeing from southern Japan. The isolated location of the village gave birth to unique customs. The Matagi hunting culture is said to have started in Nekko and the traditional village dances, performed in August, are designated Important Intangible Folk Cultural Properties of Japan.

I can enjoy the cooking such as mushrooms in spring in an edible wild plant, the autumn. How about while hearing the murmuring of the basis river when I experience a leisurely country life?
I would like the application for use (break, meal) to "the forest beech hotel of Ani" of associated facilities.
In addition, the application for dish should be more than 10 groups. In addition, on account of the preparations, I would like a reservation within three days before a use day.
