“Perfect Japanese home in Nature”
This house is absolutely perfect, stop searching and book this house. You will not regret it. This is the real Japanese home deal, the hosts were amazing. Detailed checking but never disturbed us during our stay. The owner has so much pride in his home and you can tell this home was built with love. Perfect for Children and family.

Our stay at Kotorian was excellent: the house is very authentic and wonderfully renovated, the hosts were very kind and we enjoyed the location close to the Asuka sights and the train station.

“Beautifully designed hideaway to soak up Japanese country life”
The house itself is impeccably designed down to the smallest detail. It is both traditional and modern in its own unique way. It boasts a traditional Japanese garden that the owners could easily charge an entrance fee for. At the same time, it is a relaxed country idyll with lots of nature to explore, with chickens, fish and a wealth of natural wildlife. If you are after experiencing traditional Japanese home life, you'll struggle to find a better place (says my Japanese wife).
