The thatched roof, the smoke from the sunken hearth, the chickens playing in the garden.
Seasonal ingredients from the forest in the sky and our own farm are used in dishes that are gentle on the body.
Here, we introduce the charm of Forgotten Village Gajoen and more.

Kirishima, Kagoshima Prefecture, is a land of rich nature, with the Kirishima mountain range in view and the Amagari River flowing through it.
There is a village-like inn with only 10 guest rooms.
Forgotten Village Gajoen is located about 15 minutes by car from Kagoshima Airport.
Although it is only a 15-minute drive from the airport, once you step into the grounds, you will feel as if you have time-traveled several decades back in time.
It is an extraordinary world that cannot be experienced today.

The attraction is that you can experience an extraordinary space.
When you arrive at the inn, the first place you will be taken to is the “Cafe Shokudo Fumosha.
The earthen walls, pillars, and beams of the building are a rare sight to see today.
The grounds are planted with plants, trees, and flowers, and the Amagari River flows by the inn.
While taking a short walk, I saw a male and female chicken. The chickens have become the mascot of the inn.
The space, which looks as if it has entered into an old tale, gives you an extraordinary experience, as if you have gone back in time.

The best ingredients are prepared in the most delicious way.
Each dish is carefully prepared without cutting corners.
Almost all vegetables used are from our own vegetable garden.
When weather conditions do not allow them to be picked, they use fresh vegetables from the local area.
Although the volume of the dish was quite large, the vegetables were sweet and tasty, with a crunchy texture remaining.
The chicken sashimi, which must be fresh, comes in three types: sasami, momo (thigh), and hanemi (honey).
They are served with ponzu (Japanese sauce) or soy sauce, but they are also delicious as they are.
Every bite of the tender meat is full of umami flavor.
The chicken is said to be this delicious because it has been raised on fermented feed on the family’s own farm, where it runs around vigorously.
