The Former Nishiyama Residence is an old folk house located in the heart of the Oji district of Kasuga-cho, Tanba City. In addition to the main house, which dates back over 100 years and features a thatched roof, a storehouse, a detached building, and a bathroom building surround a courtyard. Having been vacant for many years, the house has been meticulously renovated, retaining its charm while incorporating modern comforts and functionality. The minimalist design, which does not interfere with the house's environmental performance, creates a comfortable living space that aligns with the rhythms of nature throughout the seasons.
The Oji district is a solidly rural area, and Mount Mio, visible from anywhere in the district, is a cherished mountain that locals have gazed upon since childhood and feel close to. The Oji district has long welcomed many immigrants, and hosts social gatherings for immigrants, including those considering relocating, allowing visitors to experience this cherished culture.
The Former Nishiyama Residence also offers a variety of options to suit your needs, including affordable extended-stay plans and access to various local events and workshops. We will work with you to create a tailor-made accommodation plan.
When making a reservation request, please let us know your requests, even if they are only general, such as "I'd like to stay multiple nights," "I'd like to have a nature experience that I can enjoy with my children," or "I'd like to learn about local cuisine." We will tailor our accommodation to your needs.

到着時、駐車場の場所が分かりづらく、敷地内も木が生い茂っており、枝が車に擦れながら駐車しました。案内看板があると助かります。
室内も和室のテーブルが埃だらけで、洗面台には歯磨き後のような汚れが残っており、衛生面が気になりました。
BBQセットも有料で利用しましたが、周辺は草が多く蚊も多いうえ、照明もなく、BBQを楽しめなかったのが残念です。
古民家なので古さは承知していましたが、設備の古さというより、清掃や管理が十分でない印象を受けました。
立地が良かったので、丹波市、丹波篠山市の旅行は楽しめました。ありがとうございました。
