Access
About two and a half to three hours from Tokyo by car.
The house stands in a quiet mountain village in the Satomi area of Hitachiota, northern Ibaraki. Public transport is very limited here, so we strongly recommend coming by car.

Enter this address (in Japanese) into your car navigation or Google Maps.
By car
About 2.5–3 hours from Tokyo via the Joban Expressway. In winter the roads can freeze, so allow plenty of time and check that your rental car has winter tyres.
By train
Take the JR Joban Line from Tokyo, Ueno or Shinagawa to Hitachi Station, or change at Mito to the JR Suigun Line for Hitachiota Station. The house is a long way from either station and buses are rare, so please rent a car at Hitachi Station or Hitachiota Station and drive the rest of the way. If you plan to come by train and taxi, please email us your arrival time first.
Parking
Free parking on site for 6–10 cars. Large vehicles and location buses can get in.
