Holiday rentals with lake access in Kyoto

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.
