There's no underfloor heating, the glass is single-paned and it is constructed of wood and paper, but it's home. #woodhouse #engawa #kominka #expat
went to the open house for a new tourist accommodation in my neighbourhood. The owner has converted a kominka into short term lodgings. The rooms seemed spartan and overpriced, but the zen garden and the view were nice.

Persimmons ripening under a pale autumn sky, chestnut rice, followed with a bit of Utagawa Kuniyoshi.

Time for a garden reset. With the nights and early mornings turning cooler, we only have a short window to get the soil ready for your autumn veggies. By the way, the calendula are beginning to bloom. #kominka #slowlifejapan #over40vlogs

had lunch at a Taiwanese Buddhist-style restaurant in a cozy and beautifully maintained kominka. The vegan shumai was delicious and surprisingly hearty

In the countryside, you will notice that some houses have a storehouse known as a Kura in Japanese. Before banks, this is where families kept their valuables. The kura's thick earthen walls and doors were designed to deter thieves and guard against fire. #kominka
Here is another shot of Iizukatei Hotel with its amazing garden. Having our breakfast outside under the shed with this beautiful view was priceless! #kominka #nasu #tochigi #offthebeatenpath #japan #eos3 #cinestill50d @iizukatei_hotel Photo taken at these geographical coordinates: geo:37.020920449902,140.02735161236

Iizukatei is a stunning Kominka hotel located in Nasu, Tochigi, Japan. It offered me one of the most memorable countryside experiences I've had in Japan in a long time. #kominka #nasu #tochigi #offthebeatenpath #japan #eos3 #cinestill50d @iizukatei_hotel Photo taken at these geographical coordinates: geo:37.020920449902,140.02735161236
