Akitsu is a guesthouse and shop in a traditional kominka-style farmhouse, tucked away in a small woodcarving village in Shiga, Japan. Staying at Akitsu is an opportunity to experience a different pace — a chance to escape and unwind from the busyness of life. To breathe fresh mountain air, put your feet in an ice-cold stream. To wake up late, to the smell of fresh coffee. To take it slow. It’s a reminder that efficient isn’t always best — sometimes the slow path is the better path. Well-made, lasting, imperfect. The Ryokan: up to two people, inclusive of hinoki ofuro soaking tub, wifi, desk, fridge, air-conditioning / heating, and bicycle rental. optional extras: breakfast basket of pastries and seasonal fruits, laundry service, train pick-up and mini-bar selection.
I am a Fashion Designer, Innovative Product Developer and Illustrator from Sydney, Australia. I decided to pursue the adventure of relocating to Japan and undertaking a different type of creative project: to bring a 100 year old Kominka back to life. I have spent the last 18 months renovating Akitsu and pouring myself into every detail. I can't wait for you to experience this magical place for yourself.
Experience the tranquility of village life in rural Japan. Kaminyū is a small village tucked away in a valley at the foot of Mt Ryōzen with the Nyū River running through the heart of it. Home to many talented craftsman and artisans, Kaminyū is famous for its woodcarving and butsudan altar making.
