Vacation rentals with lake access in Mie Prefecture

Retro-modern space created by renovating an old house

　The stylish space created by renovating an old house is fashionable and somewhat nostalgic. It is located in a quiet area near the Shiga Prefectural Government Office, with Lake Biwa stretching out before you. In the spacious area where the walls and sliding doors have been removed, family and friends can gather comfortably for the first time in a long while. There are also quiet corners here and there, a little away from the hustle and bustle of the crowd, where you can reflect on yourself in front of the mud walls and the garden. 　The house was built by the grandparents in collaboration with the carpenter of the time, and the granddaughters, who became architects, joined forces with the current carpenters to breathe new life into it. While discussing the interesting interplay between ideal and reality, rationality and excess, and while consulting with the fund, they carefully revived the old. I think you can feel this spirit in the mismatched dishes that are still usable and the cushions of different thicknesses. The objects speak to us, telling us that we can do things without being uptight. 　There is also a tiled indoor 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 at the inn can also use it.
