The vision this guesthouse aims for
Good morning to the World and Kanmon!
This time of year, with its frequent cloudy and rainy weather, can generally be a bit depressing, but…
at this guesthouse, it’s actually a little bit of a pleasant surprise.
Because…
The host’s favorite flower, the hydrangea, is beautiful here.
The hydrangeas in front of the entrance were originally just bare ground, but they were transplanted there in the third year and have grown to this size.
During the first two years, we learned from several guests that in their home countries, the neighbor country, hydrangeas are called “Suguk (water chrysanthemum),” and that they are rare and considered luxurious. That was the reason we started to plant them.
Our goal is to be called as a “hydrangea guesthouse”!
We want our guests to enjoy hydrangeas, which bloom beautifully and for a longer period than cherry blossoms or wisteria, during the often gloomy rainy season.
We hope our guests will enjoy hydrangeas, which bloom beautifully for a longer period than cherry blossoms or wisteria, during the often gloomy rainy season.
It’s probably a common flower even in neighboring country now, but its inherent elegance remains unchanged, soothing those who see it.
Thank you and you have a nice day enjoying local road driving.
from Yassan,
The host of a Little Guesthouse under a Little Lighthouse TOUKA

当宿の目指す姿
世界中に朝が、そして関門にもあさが来ました。 おはようございます。
曇天・雨天の多いこの時期は、一般的にはちょっと鬱々としてしまいますが、、、
当宿ではちょっとうれしかったりします。
なぜなら、、、
宿主が一番好きな花、あじさいが綺麗だからです。
玄関正面のアジサイは当初何もなかったところに、三年目に移植したものがこんなになりました。
最初の二年間で、ゲストさんの母国、隣の国ではあじさいは「수국（スグ）水菊）」と呼ばれ。希少で高級感があると何人ものゲストさんから聞いたことがきっかけです。
目指すところは「あじさいの宿」！
桜や藤の花よりも長く綺麗に咲くあじさいを、気分が沈みがちな梅雨の期間に楽しんでいただきたいです。
おそらく今では、お隣の国でも珍しくはない花になっていると思いますが、花の持つ品の良さはかわらず見る人を和ませます。
それでは、雨とあじさいとに囲まれる素敵な一日を！
