Grassland, birds, and architecture White Bird Rest Area

At an altitude of about 1000 meters at Kobozawa at the southern foot of the Yatsugatake Mountains. This is a private rental accommodation where you can enjoy the wild meadows and forests that spread from the southern end of the residential area, the mountain views, and the starry sky I saw a white rabbit spread its wings and fly up from the meadow. And because the deep white Heike form of the eaves looks like a bird, it was named "WHITE BIRD", and a mural of birds flying in flocks on the wall was painted The building is a unique structure with a central core, large windows on the walls, and an umbrella-like eaves. The bedroom, living room, and kitchen are arranged around the washroom, and each room is gently connected. And the large and small windows everywhere are like picture frames that hold the scenery. From the large window in front of the dining room, you can see the meadows and forests, and on clear days, the Southern Alps The deck goes around the building in a U-shape. I want you to feel the natural wind and light of the southern foothills. The east wing of the garden can be used as an outdoor living room. You might even see birds and wild deer coming to the spring water there This is an inn at the boundary between human life and nature * The capacity is 4 people, but for adults only, it should be no more than 3 people * The displayed price is for up to 2 people, and 10,000 yen will be added for each additional person

Why we created this private lodging, "Mahoroba" 1. I want people to know a little bit about the wonderful illuminations in Japan. 2.
