TAMONKNA is traditional Japanese style inn, Ryokan, 300 years old. TAMONKNA was a SYUKUBOU,shrine inn until 80 years ago. The building of TAMONKAN has not changed since then. TAMONKAN is a nearest inn to HAGUROSAN. You can walk to the five-story pagoda in 20 minutes. You can ride the bus to Mt.Gassan in summer season from nearest bus-stop "Haguro-Aramachi". We hope to see many guests from all over the world!
