Keshiki Kawana | Mt. Fuji Sauna & BBQ in a Traditional Japanese House

A whole-house rental property in the port town of Futtsu, Chiba, created by renovating a traditional Japanese house over 60 years old “Keshiki Kawana.”

Retaining the charm of a traditional Japanese house, this special space—which can accommodate up to 7 guests—features a deck overlooking Mount Fuji, a sauna, and a cold plunge pool.

The charm of this inn lies in the opportunity to step away from the hustle and bustle of daily life and enjoy the slow passage of “analogue time.” Sit on the engawa and gaze out at the garden, relax on the tatami mats, or enjoy conversations with family and friends. You can spend peaceful moments unique to a traditional Japanese farmhouse.

Outside, there’s a BBQ deck with a view of Mount Fuji. While enjoying “hamayaki” BBQ—grilling fresh local seafood on a traditional charcoal grill—you can savour the unique cuisine of the port town of Futtsu.

Another highlight is the “Totonoi Terrace,” complete with a sauna and a cold plunge pool. After warming up in the sauna, take your time to relax while feeling the fresh outdoor air. At night, you can enjoy a moment of peace, gazing at the starry sky and letting go of your daily worries.

In addition to the engawa (traditional wooden veranda), Japanese-style rooms, and dining area, the inn features a meditation room where you can reflect on yourself in a quiet space, as well as an area to preserve your travel memories. Whether you’re sketching the scenery in a sketchbook, writing a letter, or enjoying traditional games, this inn offers a unique way to spend time away from the digital world.

The entire 78.68 ㎡ property is available for exclusive rental and can accommodate up to 7 guests. Equipped with a refrigerator, microwave, rice cooker, IH tabletop stove, and washing machine/dryer, it’s highly recommended for group trips or family stays.

Gaze at Mount Fuji, gather around the fire, relax in the sauna, and surrender to the tranquility of this traditional Japanese house. Escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and enjoy a moment of relaxation while taking in the views of this port town.
