■Wander through the rows of red tiled houses (who knows what you might discover?)
We will show you some great places known only by the local guides.
We can explore the city in small groups and at a slower pace if you already visited the city once and wish to see more of it.
■Create candles using Bengara (red ocher color pigment)
You can create candles based on your own design and take them home as a souvenir.
■Cook your meal in a traditional cooking stove after chopping wood (1 cooking stove available per day)
It takes some time but isn’t a well-earned meal tastier? Enjoy some traditional Kyoto side dishes with it!
■Try your hand at Bengara pottery
Create anything from tableware items such as plates or cups to Zodiac animals figurines stands. You can bake your pottery in a traditional oven if you wish.
■Embark on a soothing journey
We will try our best to offer you meals that you like and a comfortable environment. Take the opportunity to listen to your soul and body and reconnect with yourself.
■Make your own flower candle
Create your own candle using peonies, the local flower in Takahashi.
It’s possible to do this activity in 30 minutes only if you’re short on time. You can take home the candle you made.
Note: children must be accompanied by an adult to do this activity since we use hot wax.
■Try Japanese stencil dyeing
Use bengara pigment to create a unique souvenir! It’s very simple, you just have to apply paint on a piece of cloth. Everyone can do it!
You can decorate handkerchiefs, eco bags and tote bags.

初めてゲストハウスに宿泊しました。その日の宿泊客とオーナーさんとで自己紹介して皆さんと顔見知りになる経験も初めてでした。共用の居間で皆さんとお喋りしてる方々もいましたが、わたしは少し疲れてたので部屋で早めに寝ました。というように、個室でプライベート空間を楽しむのもあり!旅館やホテルにはないアットホームな雰囲気を味わってきました!
今回はじめて、ゲストハウスのある吹屋ふるさと村を訪問しました。まず、このような歴史的な街並みが遺されていることに感動しました。どこを切り取っても素晴らしい風景で、写真を撮影しまくってしまいました!
もともと醤油蔵であったゲストハウスもベンガラ色の街並みに溶け込む施設で、お洒落な内装が素晴らしく、すべてのフロアが清潔です。ゲスト共有のバスルームは天井吹き抜けと深い湯舟でとても気持ちがいいです。ホストご夫婦の優しいおもてなしと、ゲスト同士の団欒もとても楽しかったです♪(中国人のグループの方がいらっしゃったので、一緒にお酒を酌み交わしました)
宿泊日当日は街のおまつりに混ぜていただき、打ち上げ花火も見ることができました。2日間の滞在でしたがもっと長くいたい~という気持ちになりました!
また今度は紅葉の時期にもぜひ訪問したいと思います。
