Touden Hut is conveniently located for those planning to walk around Ozegahara Marsh and those travelling from the south to the north in the area via Ozenuma Lake and Sanjo-no-Taki (falls). If you are lucky, you can see from the window of the dining room a white rainbow, which appears several times during the season. The accommodation was named Touden (short for Tokyo Electric Power Company in Japanese), as it was used for the field researchers to stay during the construction of the once-planned Ozegahara Dam. Since the cancellation of the plan, a different company has managed the accommodation with the name unchanged. It was renovated in 1991 to serve as the model of an environmentally-friendly lodge with the installation of a solar power generation system and an advanced combined wastewater treatment tank. The meals are mainly washoku (Japanese cuisine) and the guest rooms are Japanese-style. Reservation for a private room can be made for two guests or more. You may request a bento (packed meal) for lunch at the time of check in.
