武家屋敷 無為自然ーSamurai House

“ラグジュアリーホテルとは対極の『贅沢』”

シルバーウィークに当日予約で連泊した鹿児島県伊佐市の民泊『無為自然』。実のところノープランで南九州を訪れて、OTAでは当日予約の選択肢がココしかなかったため、半ば消去法で流れ着いた訳ですが、意図せず記憶に残る、素晴らしい宿泊体験をすることができました。後々ホストに聞いてみると、のっぴきならない事情による当日キャンセル直後に、私たちが滑り込んだとのこと。 築150年の武家屋敷で寝食することの贅沢は、ラグジュアリーホテルで得られる体験の、対極に位置する贅沢と云えると思います。モンサンミッシェル島内の３つ星ホテルや、高野山の宿坊でも似たような感覚がありました。 ホストファミリーの存在も民泊ならでは。特にご夫妻と話す機会が多かったのですが、伊佐市の歴史、からの移住話、からの脱線話、からの再脱線話は、流れ者のゲスト（旅行者）にとってはショート動画とは比較にならないくらいに刺激的でした。 個人的なハイライトは、黄金色に染まった稲穂が広がる田園の早朝ランニング。もし再訪するとしたら、またこの季節を選びたいですねですね。 おそらく、このような素敵な民泊が日本全国に点在しているのだろうと思うと、国内旅行も捨てたもんじゃないなと。民泊って海外旅行のイメージがあるけど、国内旅行者こそ使うべき！. 日本酒、焼酎、茶などのペアリングがあったら、食事がもっと楽しくなりそう。

“Cosy Modern Timetravel”

The 150‑year‑old house, lovingly restored, welcomed us warmly from the owner. The hospitality from him and his family was beyond ten points, and the food was incredibly good, making it a one‑of‑a‑kind experience. Nothing was lacking; everything was perfect.

“食事も美味しくゆったり開放感のあるお宿”

We were a group of four women, and the space was so wide and open that we could relax comfortably. The meals, made with freshly harvested rice, field vegetables, and wild greens, were seasoned with homemade fermented sauces and tasted amazing. The garden view in front of us was soothing, making the trip truly nourishing. The only thing to note is that the sink and bath were shared, which might make some guests feel a bit uneasy with family members. On the bright side, there were several hot springs within about 10 minutes by car, which was a nice bonus.

Our stay here was the highlight of our Japan trip. The house was stunning, and we wished we could stay longer to keep enjoying it. The east‑side bedroom was especially cozy, giving me the best sleep of my life. We ate dinner and lunch on site, and the food was absolutely delicious—rice that was tender and fluffy with fresh ingredients. The host and his family welcomed us warmly, and we left with fond memories of our brief visit. We’ll definitely come back whenever we can.

“Expérience magnifique chez une famille japonaise”

We had a wonderful stay with hosts who welcomed us with incredible kindness. Our room was spacious, featuring a living area, lounge, and kitchenette. The wood stove’s warmth was very pleasant for the season, and the bedding was ultra‑comfortable. It was the best place in Japan where we ate the best meals, and menus were even translated into French. We could wash our clothes, and the shared toilet and bathroom were very clean, modern, and functional. The house, an old samurai home, was tastefully renovated. Floor‑to‑ceiling windows opened onto a beautiful garden. It was the best part of our trip. The house is ideally located near Kirishima National Park, 12 minutes by car from the Sogi Falls—220‑meter‑wide, 12‑meter‑high waterfalls—and 40 minutes by car from the Ebino Plateau and Lake Onami, where a lovely crater hike surrounds the lake. We booked activities offered by the hosts: a bamboo craft session and making soba noodles. Those were great shared moments. We were so well received that we would have liked to stay several more days, and we’re sad to leave. We hope to return to Japan and share more wonderful moments with this family who welcomed us wonderfully.
