然 -sikari-| Artist-designed retreat near Lake Biwa

A quiet private house with a small skateable garden, one hour from Kyoto. The handmade concrete landscape can be skated or simply sat with, like a sculpture. Surrounded by fields, with sounds of birds, wind, and water. Clear stars at night. The house has been slowly renovated by the host, a Japanese painter, into a simple teahouse-like space. Ideal for writers, artists, and those seeking a quiet stay. 2+ nights recommended. Not a place to consume, but to pause and reconnect with your senses.

Haruya Guesthouse

Our guesthouse is in a beautiful mountain village, near to it are pristine forests with beech trees and an ancient mountain path that was used to carry sea products from Japan sea to Kyoto in old days. In front of the guesthouse runs a stream that is a source of Lake Biwa and its water is crystal clear ; in early summer nights many fireflies fly over the stream. In winter, we have a lot of snow ; sometimes it reaches 2 meters from the ground! On clear nights you can enjoy the sky full of stars.
