Traditional Cultural shared house.

Located about 20 minutes from central Kobe (Sannomiya) by train or bus, we live where urban convenience and quiet countryside meet. Major sightseeing spots are easy to reach, but what you’ll find here is something more grounded — the everyday rhythm of Japanese life. ?About Us? Our experiences living in Fiji taught us the joy of homes that are truly open — neighbors dropping in, meals shared without much planning, life flowing between people naturally. That spirit is what we’ve tried to bring here, in our own way. What we care about most is human connection, and the chance to encounter different ways of living and seeing the world. To us, a homestay isn’t simply a place to sleep. It’s time spent together — sharing daily life, cooking, conversations — and learning from each other along the way. We hope your time here becomes a warm memory you’ll carry with you. ?Who This Is For? •Those who want to experience Japanese daily life, not just the tourist highlights •Those who enjoy connecting with children, families, and local community members •Those interested in sustainable living — organic food, local sourcing, low-waste habits •Those open to new perspectives and ways of living ?What You Can Experience?
