220-year-old Blue Merchant's Mansion with Seasonal Vegetable and Fruit Harvesting Experience

KAIWA NO SATO This old house is an indigo mansion built in the first year of the Bunsei era (1804) during the heyday of indigo. The main house and the sleeping area (a barn where indigo was stored) have been demolished due to aging, but the historic living room and garden have been preserved to allow guests to experience a little bit of that time, and it is used as a farmhouse inn.

Ancient documents on indigo, including cultural properties, are also available for viewing. Enjoy the charm of that era and Indigofera. ==== Feel free to pick and eat seasonal fruits and vegetables from the adjacent fields. * Please enjoy as many figs as you like in summer and autumn.

Tokyo Kids Castle | 130 ㎡ | 20 minutes from Shinjuku | 1 minute from station

Hello, I am the owner. The reason I created Tokyo Kids Castle is: 1. Provide a more comfortable travel and play environment for children and their families around the world 2. Don't let the coronavirus win, send out a spirit of challenge, courage, and excitement 3. To have people from all over the world come to the local area and shopping district, and have them experience and spend money We would like children and their families from all over the world to come. We also have two elementary school children. During the coronavirus pandemic, we tend to stay at home and not have many opportunities to go out and play, so from that experience, I thought if there was a place like this, I could take them there to play with peace of mind, and that's how this project started. I hope that people around the world will be able to challenge themselves to do more new things, enjoy more of what they love, and have more fun and exciting days. * Important points to note * * If we confirm that more than the number of people booked are using (entering) the room, we will charge an additional fee of 10,000 yen per person per day. In addition, no visitors other than guests are allowed. Please be sure to let us know before check-in if the number of guests changes.
