The property is approximately 1,000 sq/m in size. They initially constructed two foundations using large blue rocks, which were popular materials in traditional Japanese house construction. It's hard to imagine how they managed to transport these rocks down the steep and narrow entrance way back in the 1980s. They then built a tiny 20 sq/m cabin in the shadiest part of the property, intending to live there while they built the main house. Meanwhile, they planned the landscape and planted numerous baby trees, including over 10 maple trees, loquat trees, 3 large cherry blossom trees, plum trees, persimmon trees, yuzu trees, maquis, buxus microphylla, and many Camellia trees, among others. Every popular garden plant you can think of, they were all tightly grown and competing for space. However, they didn't seem happy.

So we did a lot of pruning. We made sure that the trees we decided to keep had enough sunlight and space around them, and that the land itself received more sunlight and airflow.

This place is very spacious and ideal for outdoor enthusiasts. It's worth mentioning that there is a solid foundation on the property that was never used to build a house, making it perfect for setting up tents and creating your own campsite. The foundation is located on the sunny side of the property and is approximately 100 sq/m in size.

One thing to note is that the original landowner left the property before building the main house, so there is no bath or shower space in the cabin. We are planning to build an outdoor shower and hot tub in the future, but for now, we recommend visiting the public hot springs ("Onsen") in the neighborhood.
