--Getting around--
Since Keihoku is quite a large area, it is difficult to visit places just on foot (most destinations are about 5-10km away).

To get around this area, you can also rent 2 bikes for free - the supermarket and bus terminal are around only 30mins away by bike.

If you choose to do a tour with us, you can pay by credit card (VISA, MASTER, JCB, AMEX, DINERS, DISCOVER). Depending on how long you stay with us, we can do multiple tours - its up to you.

I sometimes goes sea fishing, and you can eat what he catches!
A small farm full of seasonable vegetables, which you can harvest and eat for free

We are working on setting up a cafe that serves light meals. When its ready we hope our guests will enjoy eating there. :)

---The Neighborhood Overview---

Here in Keihoku, you can put yourself in majestic nature - enjoy trekking riverside, or to waterfall or giant cedars as well as praying in peaceful temples and shrines.

However, since Keihoku is quite a wide area, it is difficult to visit places by just on foot (usually 5-10km away).

---Access---

In order to come to Keihoku area, take a JR bus of Takao/ Keihoku line from Kyoto Station (terminal no. 3) via Enmachi and Nijo station. Shuzan (Syuzan) terminal is a final stop and it takes around 1 hour 20 mins from Kyoto station. It costs JPY1,200, or you can use the Japan Rail Pass.

You will get on the bus from a rear door and get off from the front door after you put your fare in the box next to a driver or show JR pass. We can pick you up at Shuzan terminal by car.

A bus timetable from Kyoto station to Shuzan final terminal:

Depart: 14:00 Arrive: 15:20
Depart: 15:30 Arrive: 16:50
Depart: 16:30 Arrive: 17:50
Depart: 17:30 Arrive: 18:50
Depart: 18:40 Arrive: 20:00
Depart: 19:20 Arrive: 20:40

The bus looks very local, but I am sure you will enjoy the scenery from the window when you come into the mountain lane (after 40mins or so).

This was just a wonderful stay. The hosts could not be more kind, generous, and inviting. It is a nice quiet village, with restaurants and cafes and bakeries and grocery stores nearby. Can't say enough how wonderful it was.

Best traditional Japanese stay and experience!!
Hideo and his wife were the absolute best hosts! The accommodation was so clean and very traditional which is what we were looking for. Hideo took us on an amazing fish tour where we picked fish at a fish market and cooked it ourselves and made chop sticks, toured thatched roof homes, sake brewery, bamboo forest and monkeys! We also had the best ramen and his wife made us sashimi with the fish we bought at the market. It was an amazing experience and the place was even better than we thought! We even got to see June Firefly’s at night! Hideo is a true ambassador for Japan and very considerate of the locals and in educating us foreigners! We highly recommend their VRBO to travelers of all ages!

An amazing stay!
We had a wonderful time at this farmhouse and it was all we imagined. The home was beautiful and well maintained. Very spacious for the four of us. The hosts are lovely people who went out of their way to make our stay perfect. The area has several great places to visit such as the thatched roof village, a special soba restaurant and the sake brewery. The scenery is spectacular. Highly recommend!!

Wonderful family stay in Keihoku
Hideo and Yukako provided an amazing experience for our family. We wanted to experience a more traditional countryside experience during our trip and they were incredibly accommodating. Yukako was so kind to pick us up from the bus stop and had such a bright and welcoming personality. She offered to take us to a local bakery, which was great. She showed us around their beautiful home, which was well kept and had all the amenities we needed. It even included a beautiful piano, which our family loved, and an amazing massage chair, which was very helpful with all the walking we had been doing during our trip. Hideo worked with us to put together custom day tours and was very flexible with working with our interests. He also provided all the transportation, which was very convenient. He took us to numerous different local spots, from the fish market to a chopstick museum to a local waterfall, to name a few. He was a great tour guide! For two of our dinners, Yukako taught us how to make hand rolls with the seafood we got from the fish market and other traditional Japanese dishes. She is a wonderful cook and I highly recommend doing dinner with them. We shared so many laughs over dinner. They also have 3 wonderful dogs that made the stay even more enjoyable. We thoroughly enjoyed all the memories we made on this trip, thanks to having such wonderful hosts. We highly recommend staying here! Thank you Yukako and Hideo for all the laughs and fun memories.

OUR FAVORITE STAY EVER
Where to begin!? Everything about this was a dream. It is difficult to find a place to stay with an infant under one year. But this was perfect for our family. Even though we arrived late at the bus stop, Hideo was there to pick us up. Make sure to bring snacks and dinner after riding the Shinkansen and bus into town. Maybe something for the morning but if not, there is a cool cafe for the mornings if needed. The property is charming and reminiscent of a time long ago while still having all modern amenities. If you forgot any necessity, the had it (toothbrush, brush, hair products, body products etc.) Kyoto area was green, lush, and earthy. It feels like what westerners think of traditional Japan. Beds were soft yet firm and comfortable to sleep two adults and a baby in the middle. Lots of blankets if needed. The house was decorated very cool! There is traditional seating or western dining setting, the fridge / kitchen tools was perfect for our stay. In the mornings we went on family walks around the town before adventuring on our custom tours Hideo created for us. Our favorite was going to the fish market and purchasing fish to be cooked at the house that evening. Oh my goodness it was the best meal of the trip!!!! He was able to show us the highlights of the area without feeling like we were tourists. In fact, most of the places we went, we didn’t see any American tourists! Hideo and his wife treated us as family. We will be back and bringing friends! 💗💗

Exploring
Hideo and his wife are lovely people. Hideo was there to pick us up at the bus when we arrived and anytime we ventured back to Kyoto. He also was our tour guide for a day making our travels very informative and fun. Food prepared by ukoco? Was delicious and both Hideo and ukoco’s company was so wonderful. If you want to be out of the city this is the place to be. Maybe a bit far if you want to explore Kyoto as bus does take over an hour. We all (4) thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful Trip to Tokuhei-an!
Thank you so much, Hideo-San and Yukako-San, for your kind and generous hospitality during our stay at your wonderful home! Hideo-San met us at the bus stop and from there the adventures began. We got lunch from a farmers market, and then visited a local shrine and refreshing onsen after dropping off our bags and having a bite. Dinner was fried delights at a spot down the road. After a good night's rest at Tokuhei-an's spacious rooms, Hideo-San drove us to the Obama fish market to pick up fresh mackerel, red snapper, shrimp and squid to grill for lunch. After more sightseeing around Obama Bay, a stop by a Chopstick Museum and Gift Shop, and a visit to the Miyama thatched roof village, we returned to the house to rest up for the evening's feast. Yukako-San, who has experience cooking at a Michelin-starred restaurant, sliced up and prepared fresh Obama tuna, squid, shrimp and sea urchin for sushi hand rolls. Delightful eggplant, potato salad and miso soup accompanied the seafood, along with home-grown shiso leaves and ice cold beer and sake. A legendary night! Our trip was all the while enhanced by Hideo-san's engaging stories, witty jokes, infectious laughter, Nihon-go tips and reflections on life. The house was super comfortable and well-equipped, including kitchen equipment and air-conditioning system. It was perfect for our group of six, including two kids. Thank you again Hideo-San and Yukako-San for hosting us and for providing lifelong memories - Okagesama de!
