“I loved this stay in the country, and the host is super friendly. But note this is a very special kind of stay. Not a hotel or guest house, but basically a private house next to the house where the host lives. It is in the country and reasonably...”

Lien Tono is a private countryside farmhouse in Tono, Iwate, surrounded by nature and deep silence. Guests can enjoy wood-fired sauna under the stars, fireside folktales told by the owner (a traditional storyteller), kayaking and SUP on a quiet dam lake, and short excursions to hidden shrines nearby. Meals are home-style and thoughtfully prepared. Vegetarian and vegan meals are available upon request, using seasonal vegetables and simple ingredients, such as vegan brown rice risotto and vegetable caponata. A peaceful retreat to experience rural Japan, local culture, and slow living.
Welcome to Lien Tono, a private farmhouse retreat in the heart of rural Tono. Here, nights are filled with firelight, stars, and old folktales, and days are shaped by nature, water, and quiet moments. Relax in a wood-fired sauna, listen to traditional stories by the fire, paddle across a calm lake, or visit a hidden shrine deep in the forest. Simple, home-cooked meals—including vegetarian and vegan options—complete the experience. This is a place to slow down and reconnect with nature and yourself.
There are rape blossom fields and cosmos fields near the inn. Famous spots from The Tales of Tono are nearby. My recommendation is Tsunagu Inari Shrine, which is located right behind Lien Tono. There is a quaint shrine at the top of 100 granite stone steps, and it is a power spot. I would love for you to visit.
