In the words of Yuki:
"I was born in Gion, the heart of old Kyoto, where my mother ran a "ryokan"( traditional Japanese inn), which is still being operated by her relatives. My family moved to Kameoka when I was 10 years old, where my father had a house and rice farm." "I have been in a travel business for more than 20 years, and I know how wonderful and important it is to see not just famous historical places but also to experience the real culture and traditions in people's lives and have direct contact with the local people. I would like to give such an opportunity to foreign visitors. I had such opportunities in foreign countries many times, and I have so many wonderful memories of my experiences there." "Kameoka has become a bedroom community of Kyoto, but my village has not changed so much since I was a child: it's still very quiet and surrounded by rice paddies. There are bamboo craftsman, tatami mat craftsmen, and tofu-makers in the village. You can still find traditional Japanese culture here."
"Stay at my house and enjoy both modern city and traditional village life!" "Kyoto Country Living" Reservation Request Form

"A beautiful 20 minutes drive takes you to a hot spring area called Hiyoshi, and another 20 minutes takes you to a mountain
village called Miyama, which has more than 200 traditional farm
houses with thatched roofs. A 3 hour drive through the pretty countryside
takes you to the Japan Sea."
