About the accommodations
Stay at an old folk house of traditional Japanese architecture, having a history of more than 100 years. Once you visit and see this traditional house, you will feel the peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. Here, there is a lifestyle that has been familiar to Japanese people since long ago, including tatami mats, shoji screens, sliding doors, a wooden-floored veranda under the eaves, and a garden facing the veranda. Living in harmony with nature while experiencing a Japanese lifestyle in a nostalgic atmosphere is also one of the appeals of this guest house.
Bath and amenities
Stretching out your legs in the beautifully renovated spacious bathtub, soak in a relaxing take-your-time bath. Amenities for bathing and for getting ready in the morning include a toothbrush, shampoo, body-wash, cleansing foam, and hair dryer.

Example activities
【Anko (sweet bean paste) art experience】
“I want to brag to someone!” That is what people who have experienced anko art taught by the instructor Nao chan always think. Experience making rose-shaped art works that look exactly like the real thing, using anko. Why not create your very own original works together with your friends or family?
※Extra-cost option. Since the cost varies according to the number of participants and works to be made, make an inquiry when making a reservation.
【Sky table】
Sit at the table on the deck overlooking all the scenery in front of you and the guest house. Feel free to use the table and enjoy breakfast and coffee in the morning sun or reading surrounded by nature.
【Bamboo cutting and bamboo shoot digging experience】
In the bamboo grove on the land, experience bamboo cutting. Would you like to try your hand and test your strength at cutting down some lush bamboo with a handsaw? Having completed the challenge, you just may feel extraordinary exhilaration and a sense of accomplishment. You will probably want to take some pictures commemorating your bamboo felling accomplishment.
During the season, you can also dig up bamboo shoots.
【Morning sun, sea of clouds, and starry night sky】
Without saying a word, just look at the photograph, and feel the beauty. The spectacular and unforgettable scenery is a must-see.
【Migration experience talks】
Nao chan herself transplanted to Kibichuo Town. She will talk about what she has learned from her migration experience, how to enjoy a rural lifestyle, and her way of life. Anyone considering a move to the countryside will get some extremely valuable information.
