Entire House Rental

Sumitsugu House West is a 60-year-old wooden single-story house renovated for exclusive use. It features a dining table, sofa, balcony, parquet floors, and a flat-screen TV. The kitchen includes a washing machine, electric kettle, and cookware. The property blends original Japanese fittings like shoji screens with modern systems.

Pottery Experience Available

Guests can book a pottery experience to create a future capsule and figurine using the tatara technique. The process spans multiple days and includes forming, decorating, bisque firing at 750-780°C, glazing, and final firing at 1230-1280°C. Finished pieces are mailed to your home approximately three months later.

Kumamoto Castle Proximity

The property is 3.5 km from Minami Kumamoto and 20 km from central Kumamoto. Nearby landmarks include Kato Shrine (1 km), Lafcadio Hearn's Former Residence (1.5 km), Contemporary Art Museum Kumamoto (1.5 km), and Kumamoto Prefectural Traditional Crafts Center (1 km).

Local Fruit Delivery

Guests can order seasonal fruit assortments from Kumamoto Prefecture for delivery to the house. The assortment costs 3000 yen for approximately three servings. Orders must be placed by 4 PM on the day of arrival or at booking time. Payment is handled onsite.

Community Gathering Space

The house operates with a large table in the living area to encourage group interaction. It is also available for hourly rental for local home parties. The name Sumitsugu House reflects the concept of 'inheriting and connecting dwelling spaces.'
