I am an American fisheries scientist working internationally and resident in Japan since 2003. In addition to renovating the farmhouse where I live in a small, gorgeous mountain village, I've recently returned from assignments in Italy and Micronesia to take on the challenge of renovating one of the historic estates in the area with the help of the surrounding community.

We will be nearby if you encounter any difficulties with the accommodation during your stay, however, we are generally engaged in other business activities during the day. There is a guidebook of information and local attractions in the cottage waiting for you. Bed linens and towels will be changed every seven nights of your stay at no charge. The number of sets will match the number of guests reflected in your reservation. Should you wish additional changes these will be charged at 1500 yen per change.
