Straw Bale House, Earth Friendly

雨丝Rating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

This is an adult amusement park, and the two of us adults were moved to tears by the lake. Yuu and Megumi have been running this bookstore, coffee, art exhibition space... for 30 years!All kinds of cabins, rammed earth houses, yurts, grass outdoor wood stoves, art installations, and small works left by artist friends from all over the world.I felt like my eyes and limbs couldn't explore everything, so I had to roll around in the grass. They used to have a donkey and two goats, and now they have two cats.They live a self-sufficient life from rice to vegetables. Breakfast and dinner were filled with all kinds of vegetables and small flowers planted by Megumi-san, even the potatoes were colorful ~ The food and the cook were full of energy. This is my hometown in Japan, and I hope to return here in the summer.

Cottage in Ueda

4.99 out of 5 average rating, 73 reviews

Limited to one group per day, Ishikumi-no-Ie is a thatched-roof and stone cottage surrounded by a garden that is beautiful in every season

The Stone House is located in a mountain village at the foot of Utsukushigahara, in Nagano Prefecture. It is a genuine stone building made of natural stone and a thatched roof, which is rare in Japan, and it took 12 years to complete the cottage. The stones that came from the site during construction were processed one by one and piled up by the owners themselves, creating a space with a exotic feel with the natural expressions of the stones. The surrounding area is a mountain village with private homes, but the large grounds are surrounded by trees, and in the garden where you can feel the nature of the seasons, birds chirp and the wind blows through the mountains. You may forget about time and place in another world that you reach by climbing a hill. There is also a main house made of stone and a small round thatched hut on the premises, where we grow vegetables and herbs without pesticides. Ishigami-no-Ie is a private rental accommodation limited to one group per day. Enjoy a calm and relaxing time in an extraordinary space that feels like you've stepped into the world of a book, away from everyday life. ●Maximum capacity: 3 people, but it can accommodate up to 4 people for families. Please contact us as the system cannot correctly display the price for 1 or 4 people. ●There is a very good value for money [Consecutive nights discount: from 2 nights to 5 nights] where you can spend a relaxing day. Please contact us about this as well.
