[Barrel Sauna Available (Paid)] Renovated Old Private House with Warehouse and Large Garden, 1 Building for Rent/Up to 8 People/Tent Sauna/BBQ Available

"We're going to demolish it because no one lives there anymore..." We received such a consultation, and we remodeled the nearly 100-year-old house with the desire to preserve it for future generations. Welcome to [3Re: Kura], a private inn that has been reborn into a comfortable space while retaining the good qualities of an old house. [Re Origine (Use what you can and don't destroy more than you need)] [Re Make (reuse and rebirth)] [Re Meaning (Redefining the value of the countryside)] Based on the concept of the three Re's, we strive to create new value while cherishing our roots. We are trying to see if we can make use of the house with a warehouse. My imagination is running wild, thinking of turning the warehouse into a theater room. The warehouse has a BBQ set, outdoor chairs, outdoor tables, fire pits, etc. You can enjoy a tent sauna and BBQ in the large garden. Please inquire when booking if you are interested. * Notes * Due to regional characteristics, there is a large number of Japanese rhinoceros beetles from late March to early April and from November to early December. It may be unpleasant for those who are staying at that time. Please acknowledge it beforehand.
