Country life surrounded by nature

Marushippotei is a private villa located in Takaharu Town, Miyazaki Prefecture.

 

Enjoy a truly special time amidst the beautiful rural scenery overlooking the Kirishima mountain range, while savoring the surrounding natural hot springs and local cuisine.

Marushippotei is located at the foot of a mountain, far removed from the hustle and bustle of the city.


When the sun sets, it becomes pitch black, and only the light of the moon and stars shines through.

 

At Marushippotei, we live in harmony with nature. Insects and wildlife are also part of this environment, and we appreciate your understanding.

A house that gives you the warmth of wood

Marushippotei is a lovingly restored old barn that we transformed into a cozy guesthouse with the help of our family and friends.

 

Some furnitures were made by Inoue Kobo located in Takaharu Town.

When you step inside the house, you're enveloped in the scent of wood.
