This house is the perfect blend of historical feel and modern comfort that you could hope for in a Japanese home. Only the things that one might hope to be modern - the fully feature Toto toilet, the steamy shower, hot water dispenser, heated sitting table, fast WiFi, and TV - are available, but all the structure and furniture offer all of the ambiance of a Japan gone from much of today’s Tokyo. The entire timber house is outfitted with Tatami mats, with sliding paper doors for the 2 main rooms.
As you may expect from a house this old in Japan, many of the beams and doorways are low, so watch your head!
Lastly, as a group of 6, we felt very well accommodated - especially when the bed rolls were in the closet. The space is very intimate and cozy - we all loved the main room around the heated sitting table, accompanied with some hot tea. Sleeping was close quarters, 3 people to a room, but the bed rolls were comfortable and the duvets were especially nice.
Thank you, Kota!!
