I was able to become a part of nature.If you're not careful, the past you look back on will turn into a different world...I was able to properly stop time and place myself 🙂

If you live in a city or in a modern house, you should definitely go! I think it will be a wonderful memory for children as well.Gathering around the hearth was the best. I was able to meet various creatures and enjoy nature to the fullest!I would love to visit you again.

Although we were disturbed by rainy weather, we were able to enjoy our stay and it was very comfortable. The food was delicious, the bath was comfortable, and the space inside was enough to enjoy.

This time, I did not stay overnight, but came here to try the food at Jusui, who was here for a limited time.The 120-year-old traditional house has a quaint feel, and the fittings, pillars, and beams have the weight of having passed through the years.Even so, the plumbing and other areas have been renovated to blend in with the atmosphere of an old folk house.The countryside spreads out around you, and you can only hear the sounds of insects and birds. There are no shops and no extra light.In the past, Satoyama landscapes like this could be seen everywhere in Japan, but these days they are really rare.Eating by the hearth was filled with peace and tranquility.

The experience of drinking alcohol with friends while sitting around an irori hearth is something you don't often get in the big city. It seems like there are different ways to enjoy it in spring, summer, fall, and winter, so I definitely want to visit again ✨ Thank you!

In mid-August, I teleported to Niigata, Koshihikari's hometown. The memory of summer started like a Japanese drama on the first night at Mahora Stay: listening to the natural BGM of the symphony of cicadas, and the gurgling snow at the door. Eight-color watermelon chilled with melted water, enjoying the luxurious BBQ carefully prepared by the hostess, lighting the dreamy cigarette fire in the courtyard after the meal, and watching the beautiful fireworks that only last a moment and feeling endlessly emotional! Cherish and appreciate every moment✨Falling asleep in the Japanese-style room smelling the aroma of the tatami at night, and waking up to the gentle morning light the next day, your biological clock follows the natural schedule; you can prepare breakfast at your own pace in the spacious open kitchen, slowly grinding beans and brewing coffee by hand. It's a luxury; when it rains, use the rice grown by Itami's family (Hattori Yonezo) to slowly cook porridge in an earthen pot. When the glutinous rice is cooked, the rice fragrance spreads along the steam, and you can drink soft rice porridge in the morning. Warming the stomach is very healing🚲The B&B has electric bicycles that make it very convenient for guests to ride and explore the Nishinoya area along the rice field trails🌾When the weather is good, you can overlook the top of Myoko Mountain⛰️Always look forward to the ever-changing sky at sunrise and sunset every day🌅 ​​Even when you don’t want to go out Nestled in the tatami library and read the Satoyama collection of books, staying quietly all afternoon📖The retro-style ancient B&B is equipped with a bathroom with modern design, using forest-like bath products, and the shower room reflects the shadow of the trees outside the window. It feels very refreshing to be so close to nature! Ban Niang also chooses the simple skin care brand SENN, which is a bathing time that purifies from the outside in.🌕On a full moon night, I saw the picturesque full moon scenery against the trees. It is a beauty that cannot be captured by the lens... I just hope that my relatives far away in my hometown can watch the moon with me now, and I will make an appointment to bring my relatives and friends next time. Friends return visit! Thank you very much to the B&B hostess for your warm hospitality🫶🏻I have spent the summer time to the fullest with all my senses!

I went to MAHORA, which I had wanted to visit for some time during the Obon holiday.As an old private house was renovated and reopened under the supervision of an architect, convenient equipment has been placed where needed while retaining the atmosphere of an old Japanese folktale.Every corner of the room has a sense of unity, with the quality the owner is looking for, allowing time to flow slowly in both the kitchen and the bath.And the rice is very delicious🍚There are plenty of ingredients. The meat and fish are fresh, and the rice is especially delicious (Yonezo Hattori)You can also use a clay pot for the breakfast set 🌾Myoko ``Yamanoha'' at this time of year also has a different charm than in winter. The nearby Naena Falls are also spectacular.After an early morning walk, we recommend reading in the living room. The voices of various birds will increase.

I stayed here for 3 nights and 4 days.At night, the sky is full of stars looking up at the Milky Way.Surrounded by a rural landscape where you can feel the sound of cicadas and the scent of ears of rice,We had a nostalgic and rich time.We also recommend taking a leisurely stroll around the area or cycling.It was a very luxurious and wonderful space to rent out an entire old private house,At night, you can read a book or listen to music in the silence without the need for air conditioning.Koshihikari rice cooked in the earthenware pot you provided.It was very shiny and delicious.For dinner, we bought some fish from the fresh fish center at a nearby roadside station.We made delicious sashimi and grilled fish in the kitchen.The owner is also very kindThey gave us recommendations on the surrounding area and how to spend time there.Thank you very much for responding to my small request.It was nice this time in the middle of summer,I would like to find the opportunity to visit again in a different season.
