When I worked as a Japanese teacher at Austraria, I wished I could tell them how nice Japanese culture is and I wanted them to experience something.
When we moved to Kumamoto from Tokyo some 12 years ago we discovered this unique spacius Japanese house.
Now I am working as a librarian at a school library. In 2019, the Rugby World Cup was held in Kumamoto, we decided to contribute by registering as an Airbnb and enjoyed sharing someting Japanese with our foregin guests.
I hope many people are able to join us and share the peaceful Japanese atmosphere.
