Spend a luxurious time at Shizuoka's hidden getaway, Kingfisher Cottage
Relaxing moments in an old house reminiscent of the Showa era
Kingfisher Cottage stands in the mountains of Shimada City, Shizuoka Prefecture. Shelly, the American owner, has beautifully revived this old Japanese house, making it a captivating accommodation.
A space brimming with love for Japanese culture
Shelly's deep affection for Japanese culture is evident everywhere. Guests can fully savor the traditional beauty of Japan in the old-style Japanese rooms, verandas, and Japanese gardens.
Healing time surrounded by nature
Enjoy the sound of flowing streams, chirping birds, and even deer calls at night. Enveloped in rich nature, you can spend a leisurely time forgetting the daily hustle.
Comfortable stay with carefully selected amenities
While preserving the charm unique to the old house, modern equipment is also available. The separate bathroom known as “bubble bath” is particularly recommended, where you can enjoy a blissful bath time in a Shigaraki ware tub.
Heartwarming hospitality
Friendly and kind hospitality by Shelly makes your stay special. The café “Firefly,” open only on Saturdays, offers authentic coffee and homemade sweets.
Access might be inconvenient, but...
It takes about 20-30 minutes by car to the nearest convenience store, which adds to the allure of this “hidden sanctuary.” Enjoy the slow passage of time away from everyday life.
Kingfisher Cottage is an ideal lodging spot recommended for those who want to escape busy days and indulge in a nostalgic atmosphere. Rediscover the charms of the “good old Japan” that many have forgotten here.
