Wataya Roopt Hayama Kamiyamaguchi▷ Wataya, an inn by terraced rice fields. Stay in Hayama's satoyama and experience the local way of life.
Wataya is a whole-house rental in a traditional farmhouse, nearly 100 years old, located next to the terraced rice fields of Kamiyamaguchi, Hayama. Originally a business dealing in cotton (wata), the house's trade name, "Wataya," has become the name of the inn. While preserving traditional elements like beams and fittings, it offers a relaxing stay for one group per day. A guided walk through the terraced rice fields after check-in is included in the stay, allowing guests to explore the history, local life, and seasonal nature of the satoyama.
After check-in, we will guide you on a walk through the terraced rice fields (included in your stay). We will explore the history of the terraced fields, the local way of life, and the seasonal nature of this small satoyama together.
Additionally, you can book agricultural experiences such as rice planting and harvesting, ice cream making using terraced rice, dinner plans featuring local ingredients, and terraced rice field breakfast. Booking these as a set allows you to fully enjoy the charm of the region.
※All experience and meal plans require advance reservations at least 4 days prior to your stay. Details will be provided on the experience page after your accommodation booking.
The kitchen is equipped with a rice polisher and a clay pot. The experience of polishing terraced rice yourself and cooking it in a clay pot is one of the unique pleasures of this inn. Appliances and cooking utensils are fully provided, allowing you to fully enjoy your meals.
There is also a garden, so you can enjoy time outdoors.
Accommodating up to 8 people, there are three sleeping spaces: a bedroom with two single beds, a room with two daybeds converted from a closet, and a Japanese-style room (with four futons) that can be partitioned by a roll screen. It is ideal for families and groups of friends.
