"Shared-house Tatami" in Minamiuonuma City, Niigata Prefecture, is a guesthouse that has been renovated from an old traditional farmhouse.

Charm of the Traditional Farmhouse

The greatest charm of Shared-house Tatami lies in its historically significant architecture.

Furthermore, there are rare experiences like stargazing sessions at night and storytelling by local narrators that you cannot find in the city.
