Asuka no Mahoroba is a renovated farmhouse built in the Edo period.
The separate building was revived as "Mahoro-no-Yado".
While retaining the old charm, we renovated it using Yoshino cedar and cypress to make it a relaxing place to stay.

One private rental limited to one group per day. Feel free to spend time with anyone.
With your partner, family, and group! Of course, solo guests are also welcome.
This is a detached single-story house with a private entrance at the back of the garden.

It is located in Asukamura Kawahara, the center of the "Asuka" region where Yamato Takeru praised its beauty.
Nearby, there are many attractions such as "Kohokuji Temple", where the first sutra was copied in Japan, "Tachibana Temple", the birthplace of Shotoku Taishi, and "Amakashi Hill", which overlooks Asuka Village and the Yamato Sanzan.
"Mahoro" is an ancient Japanese word that means "a wonderful place" or "a place to live" in the words of Yamato Takeru. Enjoy the relaxing flow of time at Mahoro Inn.

The main house of "Asuka no Mahoroba" is currently operating a rental space and is looking for a new tenant.
The dirt floor and garden of the main house are common spaces for all users.

Hi, I'm Risa. We would like to make a good room based on your questions and opinions. I am waiting for your message. I like to go on vacation to various countries in Asia. Now I want to take a long vacation in Italy. It is interesting to see old buildings and cute houses from different countries. I started hosting because I wanted to live you in an old folk house as comfortably as possible. Thank you.
