Why we’re doing this
Before moving here, we were based in Tokyo and often thought:
“Someday, we want to live in rural Japan.”
But short trips were never enough to decide.
Everything changed when we stayed for about 1 month in a local house.
We experienced everyday life — neighbors stopping by, farmers coming early in the morning, and onsen as a normal part of daily life.
That long-stay experience gave us the confidence to move here.
Now we want to open the same gateway to others:
Not tourism. Not relocation. But something in between.
Opening schedule
Planned opening: December 2026
We are also looking for early monitor guests before opening.
