■ A Hotel Where You 'Live Like a Local,' Touching the Land's Memories

The 'Enseng Marugoto Hotel' project is a regional revitalization initiative that 'curates' local resources scattered around stations and villages, creating a worldview where the entire area is perceived as 'one hotel,' thereby fostering new stay-based tourism and micro-tourism.

The core hub of this project, 'Satologue,' is located between JR Ome Line's 'Hatonomori Station' and 'Furusato Station,' in an area retaining the atmosphere of a traditional satoyama (rural landscape) with deep greenery and clear streams. It opened its restaurant and sauna in May 2024, followed by its accommodation wing in May 2025. While sharing the area's history, culture, food, nature, and people's lives, it has welcomed hundreds of guests. The project and the value of staying at 'Satologue' have been highly praised, winning numerous awards including the top prize, the 'Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Award,' at the '7th Japan Tourism Awards,' and attracting attention from many media outlets.

The newly created 'Bettei Suite Villa Sumika' offers a stay with enhanced privacy and an environment that brings guests closer to Okutama's nature, allowing them to surrender to the land's air and time at their own pace.

■ Experience 'A Story Woven with the Village' in a Quieter Space at 'Bettei Suite Villa Sumika'

'Bettei Suite Villa Sumika,' the first private villa at 'Satologue,' is a suite room where guests can leisurely and entirely enjoy the stories of this land that have been passed down, in a quieter space. By immersing oneself in the land's air through the sauna, garden, and riverside, guests can step away from daily life, refresh their mind and senses, and return to themselves.
Along with the scenery and flowing time of Okutama, gently touch the memories accumulated on this land, spend time as if you were 'a member of the village,' and enjoy a 'stay with your own story.'

◇ About the Facility Name 'Sumika'

The character '栖' (Sumika) means a bird returning to its nest to rest.
It represents the lives of people who have skillfully utilized Okutama's harsh cliffs and slopes, coexisting with nature.
It offers an experience of 'dwelling' as part of nature, slipping into the gaps of that landscape.
Find your own comfort, quietly nestled in the gaps of the land's memories.

◇ Facilities and Services

・A 'Luxurious Private Villa Space' for Relaxation
'Bettei Suite Villa Sumika' is a private villa facility where guests can leisurely spend time alone in a quiet natural environment. Without worrying about surroundings, guests can enjoy conversations with family or loved ones, reading, workation, or the luxury of doing nothing, each in their own style. The unique feature of 'Bettei Suite Villa Sumika' is its ability to provide a special time of 'staying as if living,' while valuing private comfort.

・'Garden Sauna' Directly Connected to the Garden and Riverside
The sauna on the first floor of the building allows guests to enjoy a healing time to refresh their mind and body at their own pace, without being bound by time. Step directly from the sauna room into the private garden for an outdoor cool-down while listening to the stream and viewing the mountains on the opposite bank. For the löyly (steam), yuzu and tea leaves from the garden, carefully cultivated by the previous owners for generations, are used, allowing guests to feel healed by their fragrance. This is a sauna experience that becomes one with the 'garden,' a small nature, and deeply immerses in the land's memories.

・'Private Bar' to Enrich Your Time in the Room
The guest room is stocked with local sake, tea, non-alcoholic drinks, and snacks made from local ingredients, delivered by regional artisans, allowing guests to feel the unique charm of this land. Whether enjoying a drink while viewing nature in the garden at dusk or sharing a conversation with a loved one, the time spent in the room becomes richer and more refined.

・'Private Garden' to Surrender to Nature's Embrace
The private garden, spreading along the slope like a small terraced rice field. On land where bedrock from the riverside protrudes, yuzu and tea trees carefully cultivated by the previous owners thrive. This garden offers glimpses of the traces of people's lives, skillfully woven into Okutama's steep terrain.
Find your favorite spot in the shade or a special seat overlooking the Tama River, gently lean into the fragments of past livelihoods, and enjoy the luxurious time unique to this garden.

◇ Unique Experiential Value of 'Bettei Suite Villa Sumika'

・Rare River Access Directly to the Tama River
A 'path to the riverside,' which was previously difficult to realize due to environmental conservation and steep terrain, has been specially developed, allowing direct access to the water's edge from the garden.
A step forward reveals a quiet riverside with untouched nature. This waterfront, historically used as a 'doba' (log yard) for shipping timber to Edo, is a place where local life and nature intersect.
After relaxing in the guest room, guests can walk directly to the banks of the clear stream and feel the source of the water flow that continues to the city center up close. By listening to the babbling stream and surrendering to the clean air, guests can forget the hustle and bustle of daily life and spend a special time becoming one with nature.
