• 🕰️Bought and restored in 2016 when demolition loomed, opened January 2020 — the village's own preservation win
• 🪵Wooden stairs and an open plan, where old atmosphere and modern comfort sit together

A water village where baikamo blooms

• 💧Beside the Jizo River and its clear spring water, home to the rare aquatic plant baikamo
