Please relax with your family and friends in a good old Japanese private house while watching the Japanese garden handled by a famous Kyoto gardener. We have four single futons and one double futon, so you can stay up to 6 people. There is also an artificial lawn garden, and pets can stay, so please use it for trips with your dog.
