Kominka — old farmhouse · Manno, Kagawa, Shikoku

KANAYA

“Travel as if you lived here.”

A seven-room farmhouse restored by hand, set among the rice fields and mountains of Kagawa prefecture. Morning light, wood, tatami — and time that slows down.

Chapter I — The house

A house to live in, not to visit

Seven rooms in a row, painted fusuma, a tokonoma, a full kitchen — and real corners for doing nothing. The whole house is yours.

No neighbours across the hall, no front desk, no set schedule: an address of your own, prepared before you arrive, where every object was chosen or made by the host.

“A relaxing day surrounded by morning light, the sound of the wind, the scent of trees and earth.”

Doi — your host

Chapter III — Around

Manno, the other Japan

Rice fields, mountains, Japan's largest irrigation pond — and the country's most famous udon. Everything essential is within ten minutes by car.

Experience — working the fields

In season, the host opens his rice paddies and vegetable garden: planting, harvesting, everyday gestures. Not an attraction — real Japanese life, today.

seasonal, on request

Chapter IV — Evenings

At night, the house lights up

A stained-glass lamp, collected tableware, hanging glasses. Cook, linger at the table, listen to the countryside.

Honest notes

  • It's an old house: you'll hear wind, rain and insects. That's the charm — and we own it.
  • This is not a soundproofed hotel — it's a home, prepared with care.
  • Shop before you arrive: grocers and restaurants are a few minutes away by car.
  • Depending on the season, insects may drop by. Measures are taken, but the countryside stays the countryside.
  • Long stays welcome — fast Wi-Fi, dedicated desk, washing machine.
