The space
You can use the 1st floor and garden. We renovated a silkworm farmer's house, which was common in this area in the past. This was a silkworm farmhouse, typical in this area in the past.

1st Floor
There is an 18-tatami mat-sized wood-floored room, 8-tatami mat and 6-tatami mat Japanese-style rooms, a kitchen, washroom, bath, and toilet.
※ This is a style where you lay out the futons yourself, not a bed.
* There is a small fire pit between the boards. Please let us know in advance when using the hearth, and we will light it upon arrival. Not available in the summer.

Garden
The backyard is a parking lot.
There is a fire pit. Firewood is also provided for free.
* If you are using the pot or BBQ, we encourage you to arrive early. Especially in winter, please be careful as it gets dark quickly on the terrain.

Soba noodle making equipment 2,000 yen/set
BBQ equipment (3 kg with charcoal) 2,000 yen/set
BBQ equipment for the Irori (with 3 kg of charcoal) 2,000 yen/set
1st floor of the barn (with large display) 5,000 yen/time
1st and 2nd floor of the storehouse (2nd floor is free space) 10,000 yen/time
* There is a tatami area of about 13.5 tatami, a toilet, a cooking area, and a sunken hearth on the ground floor of the warehouse.
* There is a desk and hammock for desk work on the 2nd floor of the barn.

Guest access
Only 1st floor and garden. The second floor is not available for use.
A separate application is required for the adjacent barn (including the outer hearth). The barn is also basically rented to one group only, so if there is already a reservation, we may not be able to accommodate you.

Other things to note
It is an old house that exists in harmony with nature.
Since it draws water from the mountains, the water may rarely become cloudy or stop. Thank you for your understanding.
· In the summer it is often cool in the morning and evening, but during the day the room gets hot. There is also a single air conditioner.
・ It gets pretty cold in winter. Please come with clothes that can be layered. There is a heater and kotatsu.
· In winter, the road may freeze. Snow accumulates 2-3 times a year, but for safety, if you come by car, we recommend using stud-less tires or bring chains.
If it rains continuously, the humidity may cause the wooden door to move poorly.
Because it is a facility located in the middle of the natural environment, there are some insects coming in and out. Enjoy coexistence with nature, including that.
Please bring slippers for your children, as we do not provide them.
