About Us
Yogetsu is small, family-oriented traditional Japanese guesthouse in the countryside that offers a warm and intimate retreat. Guests are welcomed into a cozy space with tatami-matted rooms, sliding shoji doors, and futons for sleeping, all evoking a simple yet charming atmosphere. Meals are homemade, featuring fresh, seasonal ingredients from nearby farms, often served in a communal dining area that fosters conversation and connection.
Uda
Uda, in Nara Prefecture, Japan, is a picturesque area known for its rich history, natural beauty, and traditional charm. Nestled among scenic mountains and lush forests, Uda features rural landscapes dotted with ancient temples, shrines, and historic towns that retain the architecture of Japan’s Edo period. It’s a place where visitors can explore sacred sites like Murou-ji Temple, often called the “Nyonin Koya” for its welcome of female worshippers, and the tranquil Murou Art Forest, an outdoor sculpture park. Known for its tea fields and clear rivers, Uda provides a peaceful, immersive experience into Japan's countryside and spiritual heritage, making it an ideal spot for nature lovers and those seeking a slower, more reflective pace.

 The Images matches the reality. Such a beautiful house and the rooms you stay in. The traditional atmosphere is insane and the view is also very delightful.

 Where to begin ?! Chiyako is a very special person: a talented singer, excellent chef, mother, music festival organiser, air bnb host amongst other things ! Her daughters are colourful characters and staying at her place definitely feels more like a home stay. The room is beautiful, the surroundings are peaceful and there is an onsen nearby. I’ll definitely be back :)
