Step into a tranquil countryside home with a touch of anime magic. This lovingly restored house, once a local general store before World War II, offers a unique escape where history, nature, and charm blend seamlessly.
A Home with History and Heart Carefully renovated to preserve its character, this house has stories to tell. For over 50 years, swallows have returned here each spring, building their nests under the eaves. If you visit during this season, you might even see adorable baby swallows fluttering around—a magical experience that connects you to nature.
