Hello I'm Yoko! I’ve always loved traditional Japanese houses and culture. That’s why I renovate and manage old-style Japanese homes as vacation rentals and shared houses — hoping to preserve the charm of Japan’s past. With the help of skilled craftsmen, I focus on creating spaces where you can truly feel the warmth and depth of reclaimed wood and traditional materials. In Japan, older houses are often considered low in value and are frequently torn down. This makes staying in a traditional Japanese home a rare and special experience. I hope you’ll enjoy the nostalgic atmosphere of old Japan and have a wonderful time with your loved ones. If you need tips on sightseeing spots or restaurants, feel free to ask!
