We hope to share the joys of the seasons with everyone by creating an environment that involves small-scale farming, growing rice and vegetables, gradually planting fruit trees to increase the amount of fruit, and small-scale forestry making firewood. This is a Kyoto Kitayama-style farmhouse built over 200 years ago that can be rented as an experiential farm stay. The house is located at the foot of the mountain in the village, in an area where flora and fauna coexist, with seasonal breezes, morning air, and the sounds of deer. This is an experience of living in a house that has been around since the days when there was no electricity, gas, or water. Relaxing bathing in an iron bathtub heated with firewood (hot water and showers are available). The taste of rice cooked with firewood (common kitchen utensils such as a gas stove and microwave are available). The fire in the hearth (cooking your own meals such as grilling on a charcoal grill, hot pot, and sukiyaki is also recommended). Air, Wi-Fi, Chopping firewood, Catching insects and frogs, Harvesting vegetables in the fields depending on the season. There are still houses nearby that have been inhabited for hundreds of years. Supermarkets, convenience stores, local markets, etc. are about 15 minutes away by car. There is also a short trek to a waterfall about 20 minutes by car, and a hot spring about 30 minutes by car.

In the summer of 2017, the couple moved from Gifu to Kagawa. This is a lodging where we welcome our guests with the unique values and perspectives of those who have moved here, and the "charms of this region" that we have learned while living here. Totototsu is written as "Totototsu". A lodging where you can enjoy food and have a leisurely experience. Or a guesthouse. Or a traditional Japanese guesthouse. A traditional one-story Japanese house called "Yatsuo" that remains in the central and western Sanuki areas of Kagawa Prefecture. The building was built in 1988, so it is not old enough to be called a traditional Japanese house. Totototsu is a private lodging that only accepts reservations for one group per day. We can provide the best hospitality to up to six people. In addition to the bedroom, we have prepared two rooms as personal spaces where you can relax. Please feel free to use the wooden-floored room for the dining area and the tatami room for the tea table. For dinner, you can choose between Western and Japanese cuisine made with seasonal local ingredients and vegetables from our own farm. For breakfast, they serve Western-style food made with vegetables from their own farm and homemade bread. In the summer of 2024, they will begin offering tour and experience options. They are currently developing guided tours using vehicle transportation support and folding bicycles, as well as indoor experiences.
