About the accommodations
The absolute charm of the Kobayashi residence is the location that commands a panoramic view of satoyama (village forest). At sunset, the sun sinks below the mountains in a fantastic display, and at night, crystal clear air creates a nightsky full of stars. This may create a mood for whispering “sweet nothings.” The power of the views brings out a passionate feeling. Indulge your emotions and tell your someone special what you honestly feel.
Example activities
【Blueberry picking】
At Kobayashi Farm, every blueberry plant is carefully grown in its own bag. Our well-kept paths allow children and seniors alike to stroll around safely and comfortably. We also cultivate rare pink blueberries, known for their sweet-and-tangy flavor that delights the taste buds.
【Mochi pounding】
You can learn directly from the host the basics on how to make fluffy but highly stretchable mochi, nurtured over many years at Konashiya. We guarantee that you will warm up to mochi pounding as a competition: Whose mochi is the most delicious?
Other activities
- Digging Japanese yams and sweet potatoes
- Planting seeds for hakusai (nappa cabbage) and eggplant
