**About the Host**
Hello, and welcome to **66 Lodge**!
My name is **Eiga**, and I manage this lodge. I was born and raised in Kimobetsu, but I have also lived in various countries, including Jordan, Iraq, Dubai, the United States, and China. Drawing from these experiences, I strive to provide a comfortable and enjoyable stay for guests from all over the world.
One of my favorite hobbies is **fly fishing**, and the Kimobetsu area is home to some fantastic streams. If you're interested in fishing, feel free to ask me—I’d be happy to help, even if you’re a beginner!
I also love **hot springs** and have visited almost every onsen in the area. I still go to an onsen at least once a week, so if you need recommendations, just ask!
Another passion of mine is **good food**. I frequently explore great restaurants, not only in Kimobetsu and Rusutsu but also in Sapporo. If you’re looking for dining recommendations, I’d be happy to help!
I hope you have a wonderful and memorable stay in Hokkaido. Please enjoy your time here to the fullest!
