● Activities The facility provides a variety of fee-based and free services (booking required; e-mail for details), including smoked-cheese making classes, sugidama (cedar ball) making classes, fishing gear rental, bicycle rental, barbecue set use (free), pizza oven use, open-hearth use and guided tours to Haiya Falls (free). ● Meals Breakfast: Served in a bamboo basket Lunch: Instant noodles and frozen pizza are available. Other food should be purchased in advance, as there are no supermarkets or convenience stores nearby. Guests can use the kitchen facilities to cook their own food. Dinner: Catered meals can be provided with bookings at least two days in advance, and staff can recommend restaurants in the nearby Kibune area a 15-min. drive away. Guests have free access to condiments and cooking utensils in the kitchen, a barbecue set (grill, charcoal, firelighter, gas burner and tongs), pots and an electric griddle.
● A word from the owner My father initially renovated this 150-year-old private house in his hometown of Seryo in the Kitayama area of Kyoto and used it as his own villa. After he passed away, I spent around a year having it renovated, hoping to preserve the property in the long term for the enjoyment of various guests. Having been to more than 30 countries as a business owner, I incorporated a unique modern Japanese concept in the renovation for an optimal presence against Japan’s wonderful forest and mountain scenery. The residence is ideal for a wide range of guests, including families with children and groups of friends. The staff look forward to welcoming you.
● History and nature This property is located in Seryo – a location renowned for its historical and natural characteristics, as well as being the setting for the terakoya (temple school) scene of Sugawara Denju Tenarai Kagami (Sugawara and the Secrets of Calligraphy) – one of Japan’s three biggest kabuki plays. The work’s main character, Sugawara no Michizane, is enshrined at Seryo Tenmangu Shrine near the property. Seryo is also within the area of Kyoto Tamba Kogen Quasi-National Park, and is renowned for its rich natural environment. The ancient cedar forest behind the shrine is the ideal spot for a relaxing bicycle ride (rental bicycles available). ● Haiya Falls – an unexplored oasis The Haiya River flows right by the property. In its lower reaches are Haiya Falls – a hidden gem unknown even to many people locally. The falls turn a dynamic emerald-green when the water level is high during the rainy season. Property staff provide free tours to the falls.
