and ruins of Azuchi Castle,
Omihachiman has been designated as Japan’s first Important Cultural Landscape of its wetlands.
It is here, three people met and came together to revive old traditional houses that had been dormant,
giving birth to the guesthouses in 2022.

we aim to share the joy of living in the present and feeling the changing seasons.
We believe you will find precious things in life as feeling the slow passage of time.
