Kansai Airport is 9 minutes by train and 5 minutes on foot. We rent out the entire traditional Japanese merchant's mansion (old private house). Yuri is the name of the house that has been passed down from generation to generation in our family. Enjoy a relaxing Japanese trip with just your family and friends, without having to worry about other groups, rather than just a guest house. This inn is very popular with those who are interested in traditional Japanese culture and anime lovers such as Demon Slayer and Naruto. It is an old private house, but it has been completely renovated to ensure a comfortable stay for all guests. It can be used for a wide range of stays for families and groups of 1 to 10 people. (The price won't change for up to 3 people) [The best hospitality not found in other guest houses] The Japanese garden, which spreads between the spacious 12-tatami-mat interior and the veranda, is the essence of traditional Japanese architecture. Relax in the spacious tatami room overlooking the Japanese garden. The living room, which is a remodeled rice warehouse, can take you back in time 200 years. [Long-term stays] Desks, chairs and whiteboards are provided. You can also use it as a workspace. We also have discounted plans for guests staying 28 days or more.

All-you-can-use sauna, private rental, old private house

An old private house that was renovated by the owner "JP", who loves DIY, who dreamed of an ideal life and renovated a 150-year-old house. You can enjoy the Irori, a traditional Japanese sunken fireplace, and the world's only egg-shaped sauna. The egg sauna is especially recommended, as it was created with a shape that allows heat to circulate naturally. This is all handmade (DIY)! Feel both the heat of the wood stove in the sauna and the creative heat of JP. You can also enjoy hot pots and grilled fish skewers in the hearth, which has been restored by DIY. Please bring all your own food, so please come after buying it at a nearby supermarket. The location is a region called "Kobo" in the foothills of Mimasaka City, Okayama Prefecture. Nishi-Awakura Village, which is becoming a popular topic as a village of local creation and migration, is just around the corner, so I think it would be interesting to stop by on the way.
