If you’re looking to enjoy the luxury of doing nothing, this private kominka-style retreat is the perfect getaway. Indulge in a serene and high-quality space just for yourself…

There is the extraordinary experience of being curious and seeing things you have never seen before, and the extraordinary experience of doing nothing.

Everyone is busy every day in various positions and situations.How about a luxurious time as an adult where you can return to your true self, rather than the title of section manager, manager, husband, wife, father, or mother?

The inn I would like to introduce this time is “Atagoya ATAGOYA” located in Tenryu Ward, Hamamatsu City.

Before the coronavirus, I spent about 200 days a year overseas, moving between hotels in various countries, and this is one of the accommodations I would really recommend.

What is Atagoya?

ATAGOYA is located in the nature-rich Atago district in the northern part of Hamamatsu City, surrounded by mountains. There are two buildings, a main building and an annex, both of which can be rented out, allowing you to enjoy a high-quality private space. (This is an inn that will definitely please foreigners as well.)

This time we stayed in the annex, but the main building is also very attractive, so I took a special photo of it.

The main building looks like you’ve stepped back in time, and it becomes a picture no matter what angle you look at it. Changing the time you shoot can create a completely different atmosphere, which is also one of the attractions.

By the way, this photo is of the main building at night.

Isn’t it wonderful?♡

An old folk house with a history of over 160 years has been renovated and reused as a lodging facility since 2018.

It’s strange because it makes me feel nostalgic for some reason .

As someone who has been in the travel and tourism industry for many years, I love things with history.

It’s a lot of fun to imagine what’s behind it, read the materials, see it and feel strangely convinced♪

There were many things in the main building that tickled my curiosity, and I couldn’t stop being excited.

The safe, telephone door, and the atmosphere of the kitchen.

It’s fun to imagine how it was used and why it was shaped this way!

For example, this gourd by the window. Why is the gourd here? Don’t you think so?

In the old days, gourds were used as containers for drinking alcohol. It is said that if you put the gourd out the window, it means, “There will be a party here today.” I see, that’s interesting! That’s it ！

The main building has a large bedroom on the second floor where you can sleep with futons lined up, so it’s okay even if you have a large group. The day before I visited, there was an event being held, and there were about 20 people staying the night.

I was reminded many times of the words that the owner of ATAGOYA said at an event where he took the stage.

“All of the buildings and items that currently exist are in temporary custody. We are now allowed to use them with care and pass them on to future generations, following the tradition of our predecessors.”

Hmm, so cool~♡

I stayed at the annex of Atagoya ATAGOYA.

This building really fits the word “retro modern”.

It’s new but nostalgic.

It’s historic yet new.

Even though the stylish space is expanding, it feels strangely calming!

A spacious and relaxing space. It’s the best time to have coffee and read without turning on the TV. Also, by lowering the curtain roll, this space can quickly transform into a space for watching VOD.

It’s also equipped with speakers, so you can connect your smartphone to play your favorite music or podcasts.

The kitchen is equipped with the latest popular kitchen appliances, as well as cooking utensils and tableware that are both tasteful and easy to use.

You are free to bring in food, but if you don’t want to cook while traveling, there is Atago Hormone next door. This store is closed on Wednesdays and Thursdays. We recommend making a reservation.

And there is also a private sauna in the annex!

It’s been a few years since I started hearing the words “conditioning and conditioning in a sauna”, and this is when I experienced a private sauna for the first time.

Burn wood in the stove and gradually raise the temperature. Once the stones around the stove are warm enough, pour some water over them and enjoy! As a beginner, the author was sweating like a waterfall, and when he stepped outside, he was completely refreshed by the cool natural breeze of Atago, located in the great outdoors of Hamamatsu City .

Depending on the season, you may even jump straight from your private sauna into the Atago River right in front of you. This Atago River has been selected as one of the “100 Best Waters of the Heisei Era” and has very clean water.

Especially in the upcoming season, when the air is clear and there aren’t many private houses around, it’s romantic to quietly look at the stars ♡

After getting ready in the sauna, it’s time to take a break.

There are two bedrooms on the second floor and one on the first floor, and beds will be prepared according to the number of people in the reservation.

The next morning after a good night’s sleep, I started off with a cypress bath.

The cypress bath is too luxurious for one person, but it is large enough for two adults to stretch out. There’s also the joy of going there alone (lol)

After warming up your body in the bath, enjoy a leisurely breakfast while looking out at the scenery outside.

Of course, you can cook it in the morning, but if you buy bread from your favorite bakery, you can simply heat it up and have a blissful time.

The author stayed on November 30th. At this point, the autumn leaves were about 30% full.

I think you can enjoy a variety of natural scenery throughout the four seasons.

It was a wonderful space where you could enjoy a luxurious time as an adult alone, a quiet time with a couple, or a large group of family and friends.
