What is "TENJO"?
The name Tenjo, which is part of our guest house’s name, originally comes from the house’s traditional name.
This is more than just a place to stay.
We hope it becomes a place where people can connect—
a guest house warmly welcomed by the local community.
For our guests, we want them to enjoy the lifestyle and culture of this region
as if they were living here themselves.
With that wish in mind, we chose to use this familiar name,
one that has long been cherished by the community.
Ideal for family and group travel. Day-use is also available—please feel free to ask.

Nature Unique to Izunuma (Summer)
Best Season: Late July – Late August
In summer, the surface of Lake Izunuma becomes covered with lotus leaves. Countless pink blossoms bloom across the water, creating a scene reminiscent of the Pure Land. From late July, the Lotus Festival is held, and visitors can enjoy viewing the flowers from sightseeing boats.
Nature Unique to Izunuma (Autumn & Winter)
Best Viewing Season: Late October – Early December
In autumn and winter, Lake Izunuma becomes home to flocks of migratory birds, including white-fronted geese. You can observe impressive natural scenes up close, such as the evening return to the roost, when the birds gather on the lake, and the dramatic morning takeoff, when they rise all at once with the sunrise.
