Beautiful surroundings and stunning craftsmanship

This was a wonderful accommodation experience, and I would definitely go back again. Designed by the young Japanese architect Go Hasegawa, the building boasts rich spatial layers and is a warm and charming little house. The rooms are on the smaller side, and the interiors are dark at night, but the light has a soft, ancient feel, reminiscent of the pre-electricity era. However, areas requiring stronger lighting are still bright enough. The building is entirely constructed of locally sourced cedar and cypress wood, giving it the unique warmth of wooden architecture. In the morning, the indoor and outdoor spaces blend seamlessly, creating a feeling of sleeping in a safe place. However, there are very few pedestrians outside, so privacy is not a concern. The manager's service is excellent. If time permits, you can ask him to explain the unique features of the village, and even arrange a tour if you are interested in the local timber industry. Most of the tableware and utensils used are crafted by local artisans—solid wood cups and bowls, beautiful and exquisite pottery. If you'd like, you can ask the manager to help contact the artisans to see if you can visit and purchase them. If your itinerary allows, I strongly recommend not staying just one night, as one night is definitely not enough to fully experience this feeling of being immersed in nature and the Japanese countryside.
