Retro-modern space created by renovating an old house

 The stylish space created by renovating an old house is fashionable and somewhat nostalgic. It is located in a quiet area close to the Shiga Prefectural Government Office, with Lake Biwa stretching out before you. In the spacious area where the walls and sliding doors have been removed, you can also relax and gather with family and friends you haven't seen in a long time. There are also quiet corners here and there, a little away from the hustle and bustle of the crowds, where you can reflect on yourself in front of the mud walls and the garden.  The house was built by my grandparents in collaboration with the carpenter of the time, and now my granddaughters, who have become architects, have joined forces with the current carpenters to breathe new life into it. While discussing the interesting interplay between ideal and reality, rationality and excess, and while consulting on funding, they carefully restored the old building. I think you can feel this spirit in the mismatched tableware that is still usable and the cushions of different thicknesses. The objects speak to us, telling us that we can do things without being uptight.  There is also an indoor tiled bath, but there is a public bath with a sauna nearby. The small coffee stand at the entrance serves breakfast and lunch from 10:00 to 15:00 on weekdays (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday). Guests staying at the accommodation can also use it.

逢譚-atan-

A private rental inn "Atan" quietly stands on the banks of the Gojo Takase River This space, where natural materials such as cedar, earth, and Japanese paper breathe quietly, blends into the city of Kyoto, but the flow of time feels gentle. There is a small courtyard through the bathroom window. Just by soaking in the hot water and letting yourself go with the view of the changing seasons, your mind will melt away. Space, quiet, and a little bit of luxury. This is a place for those who want to enjoy time doing nothing rather than packing their schedule while traveling. Wake up in the morning to the soft light through the sliding doors, and end the day quietly at night while watching the shadows fall on the garden. The time here is memorable not only for what you see, but also for the temperature of the air, the feel of the soles of your feet, and the quietness of the sounds. It's nice to talk to someone, or to spend time alone. I hope this place is a place where you can take a little distance from your daily life and check your own outline. The name "Ootan" we wanted to create an inn where you can encounter landscapes, air, people, words, and stories you have never encountered before. A little story will surely be born in this space where you spend your time.
