The space
2 rooms for 1 group of guests are ready. Bedroom size is 6 tatamis + 8 tatamis (approx. 26㎡). Including 1 double bed, 2 futon sets (If it's more than 3 guests), bath towels, face towels, mirror, body creams, wireless charger and artbooks.

Guest access
Kitchen, living room, dining room, garden are available for guests, but the pantry (storage room) and host's room are not accessible.

During your stay
Most of the time the host will be in the cafe area, so please feel free to ask anything about Teshima, Setouchi, Artsite and Japanese culture :)

Other things to note
Although this house is renovated, it is still an old traditional Japanese wooden house and renovation was done partially only, so please kindly expect the condition of the house is not like a 5 star hotel :) Instead, please enjoy soil walls with glitters, brilliant mt. fuji paint and retro tiled floors in the bathroom & toilet which we retain as they are.

We have the latest e-cross bike "TB1e" for the guests to rent (1500 yen per e-bike). Please kindly let us know if you are interested.
We also offer a long-stay discount for remote work or workation along with 1GB fiber network. Please feel free to contact us for more detail.

Cats are out in the daytime but they come back in the evening, so please help to play with them :)
