Holiday rentals with lake access in Mie Prefecture

Retro-modern space created by renovating an old house

　The stylish space created by the renovation of the old house is fashionable and has a certain charm.It is located in a quiet area close to the Shiga Prefectural Government Office, with Lake Biwa stretching out before you if you walk a little further.In the spacious area created by removing the walls and sliding doors, family and friends can gather and relax together for the first time in a long time.There are also quiet corners here and there, away from the hustle and bustle, where you can take a moment to reflect, with the earthen walls and garden in front of you. 　My grandparents built the house at the time, working with the carpenter of the day, and now their granddaughters, who have become architects, have joined forces with the current carpenters to breathe new life into it.We carefully restored the old, discussing the interesting interplay between ideals and reality, rationality and waste, and consulting with the fund.I think you can sense this spirit in the mismatched tableware that is still usable and the cushions that vary in thickness.Things speak to us, telling us what they can do without constraint. 　There is also an indoor tiled bath, but there is a public bath with a sauna nearby.The small coffee stand at the entrance serves breakfast and lunch from 10:00 to 15:00 on weekdays (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday).Guests staying with us can also use it.
