It was opened in 2014 by Ms. Uzawa, who fell in love with the location in the natural surroundings.

There is one guestroom in the cafe itself, the others are in the house. It overlooks the Akagi-gawa river and rice fields with mountains framing the horizon on all sides.

Shizen-no-Ie is an old junior high school that was beautifully renovated as a lodge.
It is located in the tiny community of Koguchi, half-way between Nachi and Hongu, thus making it an important overnight stop on the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage route. To the south is the Ogumotori-goe trail and to the north is the Kogumotori-goe trail.
It is also popular with fisherman, students, and families as a summer vacation spot. There is a small river and shrine next to the lodge. This is a great area to enjoy the peacefulness of an isolated mountain village.
