I got married! My husband and I moved into a property with two vacant houses ( akiya ), a silk farming cottage and a shed in rural Shikoku, Japan. We are renovating the 100year old kominka traditional Japanese house into a guest house and we live in the newer house next door. I'm a former interior designer, and now I'm a foreigner living in Japan. Mr. Nakamura is a gardener and farmer.

Follow for more rural Japan life, simple Japanese home design, Japan countryside culture, gardening, Japanese food, intentional slow living and DIY home renovation. It's Ghibli in real life over here. I can't wait to share more with you. Product links below may be affiliate links.
