    “室内がとてもオシャレで綺麗でした！ また、パン、ごはん、たまご、牛乳、シリアルコーン、ヨーグルトなどなど、たくさん食べ物があり、夜も朝もここで食べました！調味料や鍋、ケトル、電子レンジ、オーブン、コーヒーメーカーもあります！ついつい食べすぎました(^^) テレビは配線されていないので映りませんが、WiFiがあるので、ネトフリやYouTubeなどのサブスク系は見れるので、ずっと映画見てました！”

    “日本の蔵の外装に海外のような内装が面白かったです。周りにコンビニのようなお店は無いので夜にお腹が空いた時、朝食用に用意されていたフリーフードのおかげで助かりました。同じ理由でホテルのフロントに備わっているようなものがお部屋に常備されていると、なお良いなと思いました。スタッフさんには万事親切に対応していただきまして感謝しています。とても楽しい宿泊体験でした。(^^)”

A registered protected historic building, this one-bedroom accomodation is a unique stay. Renovated by aki(architects), this 120 year old Kura (a traditional store-house) was used by a merchant family to keep their valuable belongings. With views towards Mt. Kosho and surrounded by a Japanese  garden, it’s perfect for a 2-3 person getaway.
I am New Zealander who has lived in Japan for over 30 years. Japan, its cuisine, and people were so wonderful that one day, maybe after 10 years, I realised I was actually living here, and had no real wish to leave. Every morning I wake up early, exercise and then walk, with two Border Collies, up the river and into the slopes of Mt. Koshosan (where the “Hidden Fortress” at the root of the Star Wars fantasy can be found). I often have to pinch myself that it is all real. I hope to revive the local economy, bring new families and life back to Akizuki where the average age of its residents is around 70 years. I also hope to be able to show to visitors, inbound and domestic, the joy of life in this very special, beautiful rural environment. A place just 45 minutes from a major international airport but a million miles away.
The house is close to the main Akizuki street. Once here you can easily walk to everywhere in the village. Guides to Akizuki are included. The house is alongside a hotaru (firefly) viewing river - season is late May through June. From dusk until about 9pm it can be a wonderland. Interestingly, Akizuki has no reticulated water supply (there is a black-water drainage system though) as it sits on one of Japans top mineral water aquifers. The house has its own mineral water bore. Enjoy water from the tap and have a mineral water shower.
