A very bad feeling about that place.If the house is beautiful, well maintened machiya when we got in. After that, the owner Nao is giving this kind of atmosphere we owe us something. And that she wants something more... Like a witch.May be got it wrong but felt trapped. Like being front of a mamba snake. Couldn't sleep and left in the middle of the night.

Horikawa Imadegawa, heading north from Shiramine Shrine, is a gallery and inn called “Kusa to Hon.” The space is bigger than I expected, and it’s very relaxing.I received Minori sweets today☺️
