Sitting directly on the Ise-ji route of the ancient Kumano Kodo pilgrimage trail, our home is a rural and quiet place to take in traditional Japanese culture and architecture amongst our expansive gardens and local tea fields.

In addition to the space, we also offer bicycles and can arrange a taxi to/from the station if needed.

The space
Update July 2021

We have recently renovated the guest quarters!

Renovations include:
- New shower room and sink
- High-speed fiberoptic internet (wi-fi)
- Sensor lighting for guestroom hallways
- Garden lighting
- Walk-in closet for clothing and suitcases

With 400 sq. meters of floor space, our house was originally built for a local merchant family. We have lived on this road for generations, and are now opening up the house to be enjoyed by visitors to Japan, or simply people who want to get out of the cities and experience countryside life.

With ornate Japanese gardens in front and back, the original traditional home still stands in the center. Modern wings have been added on over the years, though keeping with traditional design, and it is immaculately kept and well-built.

The primary guest room sits alongside the koi-stocked pond, and can comfortably sleep four adults (five possible with a squeeze). If you would like to separate your group or have more space, you can use additional tatami rooms outside of the main guest room.

Heating and air-conditioning are electric, and discreetly installed throughout the complex. The exceptions are the tatami rooms in the traditional house (for aesthetic reasons), but the sleeping and social rooms are all equipped.

Kitchen: Equipped with a large refrigerator, IH stove, cooking implements, toaster oven, microwave, and other amenities.

We also have various other gas and electric tabletop cooking tools for making nabe, takoyaki, yakiniku, etc. The large charcoal grills are outside in the dedicated BBQ space which also has a roof.

Guest access
The guest room is in its own wing of the house with private shower, toilet, and sleeping facilities.

You have access to most of the main house and all of the gardens, as well as a kitchen and dining area.

Parking is abundant if you are coming by car.

Other things to note
We have also worked with locals to provide a comprehensive list of experiences which are available to customers staying two nights or more, and depending on availability. Please inquire well in advance.

- Canoe/kayak rental and tours down the Miyagawa river (summer and fall)
- Meal delivery: My uncle is a skilled Japanese chef as well as a hunter and fisherman. If you give us a budget (at least 5,000 yen per person, minimum order for 2 people) he can prepare dinners with fresh fish, local vegetables, local Matsusaka beef (wa-gyu), and even wild boar and deer that he hunts in the area. Additional meals from local restaurants can be delivered, such as unagi (eel).
- Green tea harvesting and processing (May and September)
- My mother is also a tea ceremony, kimono, and ikebana instructor, so if you are interested in these experiences please let us know well in advance and we can check her schedule. There is a small fee for time and materials, and it's an ideal location to learn or just take it in.

We're located in a famous area for green tea production, so there are many tea fields around the property, as well as beautiful old warehouses for processing the harvest. We also have fields of our own, so if you're around during harvest times (usually May and September) you can have the chance to see this happen and even get some fresh tea to take with you.

We also sell our own tea which is available in the house.
