When reserved as an exclusive private rental, the residence can accommodate up to 10 guests.

Whether you are planning a multi-generational family gathering, a group trip with friends, or a corporate retreat and training program, you can enjoy a stay tailored to your occasion in this historic setting.

A traditional Japanese garden designed in the Donketsu-ryu style, once acclaimed as the finest garden in the region.

Its exceptional craftsmanship and landscaping techniques have been carefully preserved, allowing visitors to appreciate the beauty and artistry passed down through generations.

Tonomura Uhee Residence features two bathing areas of different sizes, both surrounded by fragrant Japanese cypress walls.

The larger bath is distinguished by its spacious tiled tub, where guests can enjoy views of beautifully illuminated trees at night, creating a tranquil and atmospheric setting. The smaller bath features a bathtub crafted from Shigaraki ware, a traditional ceramic art form and one of Shiga Prefecture’s most celebrated specialties.

The property's traditional storehouse, known for its excellent sound insulation, has been thoughtfully redesigned as a theater room and a versatile gathering space suitable for group training sessions, workshops, and study meetings.

A projector is also available for guest use upon advance request.
