Sleeping up to 5 guests across 2 bedrooms plus a single futon in the living area, this modern home blends contemporary comfort with authentic Japanese character throughout, including a traditional katana display, Hokusai wave artwork, and Mount Fuji tapestries.

Food & supplies:
Daily Yamazaki (bakery/convenience) is just a 3-minute drive or 15-minute walk away. Several full supermarkets are within an 8–9 minute drive in multiple directions, so stocking up for a self-catered stay is easy.
Getting around:
You'll have two designated parking spaces reserved for your stay, located in a shared car park approximately 50 metres from the house (a short uphill walk). These spaces are allocated specifically to this property, so they're guaranteed for the duration of your booking — no competing for spots. Full directions and photos of the parking area are provided in your check-in guide, so you'll know exactly where to go on arrival.
Good to know:
The backyard, while fenced, isn't accessible in winter months due to snow concealing a drop-off near the neighbouring property — please keep this in mind if travelling with children.
