Niwa of Semba










This private rental cottage is situated at the entrance of a historic district. Each place has its own history, memory, and story. We believe it’s our mission to unravel them, sort out them, and spawn new forms of them. The couple who owns the house splendidly renovated the interior. By revealing its grand wooden-frame, they revived the sensation of ancestors. Complete with all the modern conveniences and decorated with the fine arts and the antiques, it transformed into a place that can be passed onto the next generation. This site will be the starting point of the local landscape.
