O gawa shou is a peaceful bed & breakfast in rural North Granby where you can immerse yourself in Japanese living. The 19th-century farmhouse has been redesigned into a wonderful Japanese retreat where you can truly relax.

This traditional Japanese bed & breakfast is recreated in the style of a ryokan, the oldest style of hotel in the world. The time-honored style of lodging focuses on Japanese construction, decor, meals, and comfort.

Located right along East Branch Salmon Brook, O gawa shou means "little river inn". The idyllic setting creates an instantly calming atmosphere for your getaway.

Enjoy a modern and streamlined space with a Japanese style. The first floor room accommodates up to two guests.

The second floor space can sleep up to three visitors. Each space is rearranged at night and comfortable sleeping futons are brought in overnight.

Spend some time casting off your worries in the huge soaking tub. Lean back and take in the view of the lovely outdoor gardens.

The gardens are a tranquil respite where you can take a stroll or just sit and enjoy the calm.

Meals are traditional Japanese fare created with the utmost attention to detail. You simply can't enjoy a breakfast like this just anywhere.

Are you ready for the well-deserved break you need from winter? O gawa shou is the perfect getaway to transport you away to a better place.
