Welcome home.

Deep in the satoyama landscapes of rural Japan, Kuuhouse is a family-run stay set in a farmhouse dating back to the Edo period.

Together with Miki, Keita, our mother Yuko, and the local people you may naturally meet during your stay, we share simple moments of countryside life — homemade food, seasonal traditions, quiet mountain mornings, laughter around the irori hearth,

and the kind of warmth that may feel strangely familiar.

Somewhere during your stay, you may discover that a piece of Japan had quietly been living in your heart all along.
 

We make many traditional Japanese fermented foods from scratch, including soy sauce, miso, and other homemade seasonings.

Fermentation is an important part of life at KuuHouse, and we’re always learning more and making things by hand.

Because Chikahagi is a quiet countryside village rarely visited by tourists, there are many special experiences you can only have here — like cooking homemade side dishes with grandma or making udon noodles with our neighbors.

These are simple, real moments of rural Japanese life that you won’t easily find anywhere else.

At KuuHouse, we carefully prepare our futons with natural materials and sun-drying, offering a soft and gentle sleeping space. We hope you can unwind from your journey, recover from jet lag or travel fatigue, and sleep peacefully, waking up feeling refreshed.

This is a very small, family-run inn, so we never overlap check-out and check-in dates. For your reservation, please choose from the blank (white) days on the calendar.

If the day right after your preferred check-in is gray, only a one-night stay is available.

Your check-out day may appear in gray — you can still stay with us. (Example: for a 2-night stay from the 13th, the 14th is open and the 15th is gray. This is available — the gray simply marks your check-out day, when the next guests arrive.)

We kindly ask for your understanding regarding our cancellation policy.

As our guesthouse is a private, full-house rental and often reserved months in advance, last-minute cancellations can make it difficult to rebook. We truly hope to avoid cancellation fees, but in order to continue offering our home to future guests, the following policy applies after your reservation is confirmed:

Cancellation Fees:
    •    50% of the total stay cost (including meals and experiences) for cancellations made 14 to 8 days before check-in
    •    100% of the total stay cost for cancellations made 7 days or less before check-in, or in case of no-show

Date Changes:
You may change your reservation once for free if requested at least 8 days before your original check-in date (within a 3-month window).

Changes in Group Size:
If the number of guests decreases within 14 days before check-in, a cancellation fee will be charged for the cancelled guests.

Important Notes:
As our guesthouse is exclusively reserved for your group, we consider all last-minute cancellations—regardless of personal reasons (such as illness, weddings, or funerals)—as cancellations due to guest circumstances, and the above fees will apply.

Exceptions:
In case of emergencies such as natural disasters (e.g. typhoons or earthquakes), if travel becomes unsafe or impossible due to evacuation orders or transportation shutdowns, cancellation fees will not apply. Your safety is always our top priority.

In Case of Malicious Cancellations:
If we do not receive any communication and you do not arrive, and it is clear that you intentionally avoided contact, we may consider the case as malicious and report it to booking platforms or relevant parties.
