( Like most things in this rural part of Hokkaido, the old guest house is huge. It's also, for the most part, absolutely in the middle of no where. It must have belonged to a nice family before given how big it is and some of the details inside but now, it's just old and worn. It definitely has a rustic and dignified feel to it in parts-- painted screen doors, sturdy hearths, a nice garden area, and so on but then the kitchens look like they haven't changed in centuries, the thatched roof can be seen from the rafters, and don't even get him started on some of the rooms on the farther end of the house where the smith is. But hey, at least the baths are nice.
Once you get past the wide grounds that are made of gardens and stables, there are only mountains and forests as far as the eye can see. Is there even a road that comes all the way out here? Yes, but only cars come down and it's practically useless in the winter. Well, it's not like he has a car anyway.
The best way to travel is honestly through the gates that are used to travel much greater distances whether it be to the next town with a super market or across time.
The little shrine on the house's grounds is much newer. It must have been built fairly recently once the Time Government acquired it.
Summer comes late to Hokkaido but it's finally here. It's even a little warm during the day and the nights are just right. There are fewer duties at the citadel now that no one has to shovel snow but there are still a few odd duties here and there to help upkeep the place. The weather is nice though and even this citadel's usually grumpy saniwa is willing to let some things slide so they can enjoy the season... )
