Nordic Mountain Cabin Takashima | Near Lake Biwa | Campfire | Sunset | Stunning Mountain Views

This is a private, single-unit rental accommodation located in a secluded space surrounded by nature. Time passes slowly, and every moment remains quietly in my heart. A rural landscape unfolds before your eyes, and beyond it stretches the beautiful scenery of Mt. Hakkasan. From the deck surrounded by flowers, you can watch the beautiful sunset over the mountains. In the evening, gather around the campfire, roast marshmallows, and enjoy a relaxing time under the starry sky. Enjoy a BBQ while listening to the sounds of nature. [House Story] This house was born out of a childhood dream of living in a Nordic home.It all started with my longing for a cozy cabin and the tranquility of nature, like something out of a story. After living in Sweden and New Zealand, I returned to Japan and, together with my husband, Andy, took over a cottage that was scheduled to be demolished just one month later. My husband and I have carefully renovated this house, piece by piece, like a work of art, to create a space where the Nordic philosophy of connecting with nature and the beautiful natural surroundings of this location come together in harmony. 4 km to Lake Biwa There is a convenience store within walking distance A large supermarket is also a 10-minute drive away. Approximately 15 minutes by car to Metasequoia
