[Barrel Sauna Available (Extra Charge)] Modern-style Traditional House for Rent/Up to 8 People/Terrace with Roof Available/Tent Sauna Available
Welcome to [3Re: KEITA]! From a house without personality to a house with personality We remade an old house that had been left without any features. Re Origine (reuse what you can, don't destroy more than necessary) Re Make (reuse waste materials and give them new life) Re Meaning (Don't let them tell you there's nothing in the countryside) Based on the concept of the 3 Re's, we strive to create new value while cherishing rural roots. The concept of this facility is not just to renovate, but to remake while preserving the good qualities of old houses, to redefine their value, and to make them modern and comfortable. The facility is located at the foot of Mt. Ibuki in Maibara City, Shiga Prefecture. Enjoy a relaxing time feeling the blessings of the mountains and nature to your heart's content. We also rent BBQ grills and tent saunas, so you can enjoy an extraordinary experience while feeling at one with nature. * We may not be able to provide a tent sauna depending on availability. Please note that we are only able to lend it free of charge, and even if it cannot be used, we cannot change the amount.
