Enter the timeless world of Japan with our traditional houses. These residences invite you to discover the authentic charm of the architecture of yesteryear, with their tatami mats, sliding doors made of fusama and shoji rice paper, and interior gardens. With tastefully decorated tokonoma alcoves and traditional Japanese kakejiku paintings, these homes carefully respect the elegant, uncluttered aesthetic of Japanese interiors.
These homes will also let you discover the true Japanese way of life, with a bathroom with an ofuro bathtub, Japanese toilets with washlet, and characteristic Japanese furniture such as futons and coffee tables for dining, some of which are equipped with the famous kotatsu, the blanket around the table for the colder months.

You'll also have access to a washing machine and other practical facilities. Immerse yourself in a real traditional Japanese living space, ideal for discovering the local culture. After a day of exploring, relax in your comfortable and intimate accommodation. You can even enjoy the Japanese experience, with typical futon beds in some houses!
When you arrive, our House Angels will be there to welcome you and introduce you to the special features of your accommodation. They'll also recommend the best addresses in the area and answer any questions you may have, to ensure your stay goes smoothly.
