A Quiet Countryside Experience

INASHIKI NEST is not a typical tourist destination. Guests here often appreciate the charm of rural life rather than a packed itinerary. For those with specific businesses or activities nearby, staying here might feel slightly inconvenient. In such cases, other accommodations might better suit your needs.

However, if you’re looking to spend meaningful moments with family and friends, or enjoy some reflective “me time,” this idyllic countryside setting is just right.

The House

The property is a classic Japanese farmhouse with a welcoming, nostalgic atmosphere that feels like home from the moment you step inside.

  • A kitchen garden lies just outside, where you can see and even harvest seasonal vegetables and herbs to enjoy fresh or brew into herbal teas.
  • The facilities include a large kitchen, two shower rooms, and two toilets—offering the comfort of clean, updated utilities despite the home’s traditional charm.(No-bath tub)
  • Other highlights include a sunlit engawa (veranda) for relaxing, a spacious tatami living room with a large low table, and even a piano.

Activities and Local Connections

Take a stroll through the quiet surroundings, visit local roadside shops for fresh produce, or connect with friendly residents in the area. The serene environment is perfect for mindfulness, reading, or simply enjoying the breeze on the engawa.

Feature of  Authentic Japanese House

Japanese-style rooms (washitsu) are traditional spaces, though houses without them are becoming more common. Staying in a nostalgic Japanese house from the Showa era, reminiscent of My Neighbor Totoro, allows you to experience the atmosphere of that time while reflecting on the wisdom of the past.

Tatami

Tatami is a traditional Japanese flooring material made from soft rush (igusa), though various materials are used nowadays. You can sit or lie directly on Tatami, making a room with tatami flooring a comfortable space. There are also many different designs for the Tatami borders.

Engawa

Japanese Engawa縁側

An engawa is a wooden passageway that connects the house to the garden. Common in wooden Japanese houses during the early Showa period, it was a space for family and neighbors to gather and interact. It also helps regulate indoor temperatures.

Shoji

Shoji are sliding paper doors that allow light to pass through while providing privacy from the outside. They create a soft, gentle light that helps to establish a relaxing ambiance.

Daikokubashira 

This is a large, central pillar that stands between the floor and earthen areas of traditional homes. At INASHIKI NEST, you can see the main pillar right at the entrance.

Ranma

Ranma is a decorative panel or openwork between the ceiling and doorways or windows. It serves multiple purposes, including lighting, ventilation, and humidity control, as well as adding a decorative touch to the space.

Showa Glass

Showa-patterned glass is retro-style, textured glass that diffuses light while obscuring visibility. Each glass design has a cute, unique name.
