こんにちは､ 私は､ｶﾅﾀﾞで数年間生活したこともあり､自然を愛するｶﾅﾀﾞ人の生活に少なからず影響を受けました｡自然と触れ合うことが大好きです｡ 旧有田銀行の創設者の1人が所有した､130年の歴史ある別荘をﾘﾉﾍﾞｰｼｮﾝし､四季折々の自然豊かな庭園を楽しめる一棟貸しの宿です｡都会の喧騒を離れ､落ち着いたひとときを過ごせ､有田の町並み散策､陶磁器ｼｮｯﾌﾟ巡りも楽しめます｡ 古きを残し､同時に居住性を高めた増築ﾘﾌｫｰﾑをしております｡私も日々､庭園の手入れやDIYで豊かな自然を楽しんでいます｡ ぜひ､皆さんにご利用いただき､心休まるひと時をお過ごしいただければと思います｡ Hello, I lived in Canada for a few years and was greatly influenced by the lives of some nature-loving Canadians. Ever since, I love interacting with nature. We renovated a 130 years old villa, Villa Kaede, which was originally built as a guest house by one of the Arita bank founders. Here you can enjoy a garden full of nature and that transforms each season. Enjoy quiet time away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Enjoy a leisurely stroll around the quaint and historic town of Arita and visit world famous ceramic shops. We are making an effort to maintain the historical charm of the original villa but at the same time, we are extending and renovating it to make it more livable. Every day, I enjoy the abundance of nature by taking care of the garden and doing DIY work. We hope all of you will enjoy your stay and have a relaxing time. Thank you. facebook https://www.facebook.com/Villa.Kaede
