Escape the airport during your Narita layover and discover a peaceful side of Japan just 20 minutes away.
You will be welcomed into a private Japanese home and garden rarely open to travelers.
The house was built over 50 years ago by my father-in-law using traditional shrine and temple construction techniques. The natural Japanese cypress pillars rest directly on stone foundations — a method used in historic shrines and temples across Japan for centuries.
He also serves as a representative of a local shrine, reflecting a deep connection to Japanese craftsmanship and culture.
Relax in the garden, enjoy tea and traditional Japanese sweets in a tatami room, and experience a gentle Japanese bodywork session designed to release travel fatigue after a long flight.
Only one group is hosted each day, ensuring a calm and personal experience created just for you and your group.
Perfect for travelers with a Narita layover seeking something authentic, peaceful, and uniquely Japanese.
