Furuma-ya is an old country house located in the countryside of Miwa, in Fukuchiyama City, just 10 minutes on the express train from Kyoto Station.
We plough the small fields around the perimeter of the house, and harvest and cook the seasonal blessings of nature. On summer nights, we listen to the sounds of insects and the chorus of frogs as we cool ourselves outside, and in winter we warm up with a firewood stove. It may be modest, but this is how our family at Furuma-ya lives together in harmony with nature.
Come and visit us if you'd like to get away from the busy city and experience a bit of our country life.
"Furumaya" means "beautiful flower" in Nepali. Furuyama's owner hopes that this inn, too, will attract people as beautiful country flowers do, and become a place of rest and relaxation.
