Enjoy a BBQ while listening to the sounds of nature At night, gather around the campfire, roast marshmallows and enjoy a relaxing time under the starry sky. [House story] This house was born out of a childhood dream of living in a Nordic house.It all started with my longing for a cosy cabin like the ones in stories and for the tranquillity of nature. After living in Sweden and New Zealand, I returned to Japan and, together with my husband Andy, took over a cabin that was due to be demolished just one month later. This house has been carefully renovated, piece by piece, by my husband and I, like a work of art. It has been reborn in harmony with the Nordic philosophy of valuing our connection to nature and the beautiful natural environment of this place. 4 km to Lake Biwa (Imazuhama) 1 km to a convenience store (Lawson) Large supermarket (Heiwado) 10 minutes by car 15 minutes by car to the Metasequoia-lined street
