Instead, there is the slow passage of time in a 150-year-old house and the "empty space" spent in the natural surroundings of Hida. Gather around the table with family and loved ones. Gazing at the scenery from the veranda. Read a book. Listening to music. Or do nothing. Live life and do nothing. "Peony" is an inn where you can enjoy such moments. --------------------
