Authentic Edo period farmhouse.

Nakaya was built as a farmhouse in the late of Edo period. It still has a working fireplace, an irori, which you can cook fish, vegetables, and other dishes. It’s used to keep the house warm during the winter. Furthermore, we still maintain some traditional tools.

Fancy walking in the footsteps of a Samurai for a day?

While you’re here, you can enjoy the experience to immersing yourself in the life of a Japanese Samurai. You can wear Samurai armor and know what it feels like to hold a sword. If you prefer to a less active experience, you can take a relaxing walk in the nearby bamboo grove and learn to make your own Japanese souvenir: a bamboo cup. Moreover, there are many planned events. Two of the most intricate and traditional are the lessons in Japanese calligraphy, a trial of a tea ceremony.
