    Séjour exceptionnel dans cette maison

    Quel séjour formidable dans cette maison ancienne et familiale, perdue dans la montagne ! Cette maison est immense, traditionnelle, et surtout, chargée de 150 ans d'histoire. Il y a des photos de famille et du village très émouvantes, c'était bouleversant d'imaginer la vie qui a pu exister dans ce hameau. Nous avons passé 2 nuits, les enfants étaient ravis également, comme plongés dans un film. Nous avons croisé une famille de singes sur la route. Voiture indispensable, à 45 minutes de part et d'autre de toute vie, faire des courses impérativement. Cuisine sur le feu (sinon, micro-ondes et rice cooker). Tout simplement notre meilleur souvenir du Japon, merci de nous avoir permis cela...
    Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023
