Meet your host
Born in the 70s
Where I went to school: 立命館大学政策科学科
nice to meeting you.I usually work on vacant home issues and sustainable development in the region.
It's like a Japanese fairy tale, a Japanese original landscape.
Next to the old house, which is over 130 years old and is built on a large site that has been cherished by generations of ancestors, is our inn, "Pochirido".
I myself was born and raised in an old house on this property.
Spending time drinking tea with my grandmother on the veranda, gardening with my grandfather, and playing in the river and mountains are precious memories.
I moved from Kyoto with my wife and children to raise children in nature for 17 years.
Currently, vacant houses and abandoned farmland are problems in the countryside, but we hope that you can enjoy this land and house that we have cherished for generations.So, we decided to use Airbnb.
Enjoy a relaxing and unusual space with your family and friends.
We hope you enjoy the hidden, unspoiled landscapes of Japan!
I'm looking forward to it.
