Seventh Home
This is a large old house that has been around for 100 years.
Behind the house, there are fields and streams where you can experience picking vegetables in the morning and play in the river. The meals offered here are dishes that center around seasonal organic vegetables.
From the bathroom with large windows, there are days when you can see the starry sky and hear the sound of insects.
The owner of the house, who is a vegetable sommelier and a keen yoga practitioner, moved here from Tokyo with her family in the spring of 2018, after being enchanted by the scenery and people of Shigasato.
She loves to talk to people and is here waiting for visitors with the anticipation of making “once in a lifetime encounters,” alongside her husband, who has experience living in the United States, and her friendly son.
