■ Features of Macchiato SHONAN
Our 50-year-old traditional wooden house was originally built by a master ship carpenter. We have lovingly renovated it into a modern, comfortable space while preserving its unique history.
The "Grand" Living Room (26sqm): Our pride and joy. Look up to see the "Funazoko-tenjo" (Ship's Hull Ceiling)—a rare architectural style paying tribute to the original owner's life at sea.
Master Craftsmanship: Another part of the ceiling features "Kabazaiku" (Cherry Bark Craft), a prestigious traditional art with a 400-year history.
Obi Art: Throughout the house, we display art pieces upcycled from my mother-in-law’s cherished Kimono sashes (Obi). These patterns change with the seasons for your enjoyment.
