Red Heart B&B

A Retreat In The Woods

ABOUT

ABOUT

Yoshimi’s Red Heart B&B stands on a hill in a quiet, secluded area. It is a perfect place for relaxation or cultural experiences. Surrounded by trees, you can enjoy lush greenery and the view of the mountains in the distance as well as sunshine. 

Each season brings much joy: the beautiful Japanese bush warbler’s songs in the spring, the plaintive sound of higurashi cicadas during the summer, golden autumn leaves rustling in late November, or bright stars in the winter sky. Little delights can be found anytime and anywhere. 

 

The house is located just two kilometers from Route 355 and four kilometers from downtown Kasama. Museums and pottery shops are about a 5-8 minute drive away. There is a coffee shop / bakery nearby and several pottery studios in the neighborhood to stop by. With advance notice, you can take a lesson of ikebana (traditional flower arranging), pottery making or paper making.

Guest Quotes

It means a lot to know that Yoshimi and her house are made available for guests. It can be easy to get swept up in the chaos that is daily life. But her retreat in the woods offers a rare respite from all of that, a chance to relax and reconnect with yourself. Her space is clean and well-maintained, Yoshimi herself is quick with responding to messages and has lots of suggestions for what to do in the area. It is a real treat to visit her.
