Sponsored by Tourism Oita.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Only 30 minutes from Usuki<\/strong> Station<\/strong>, there is a farm-stay accommodation where you can fully experience the Japanese countryside lifestyle. If you like green tourism in Japan<\/strong>, this stay on the farm in Usuki is not to be missed!<\/p>\n

The hosts of this farm, near Usuki<\/h2>\n

\"Farm<\/p>\n

Just three years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Adachi<\/strong>\u00a0opened their doors to welcome tourists into their home<\/strong>\u00a0and allowed them to stay over night. Living with their son and Mr. Adachi’s mother.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/pre>\n
The hosts are Mr. and Mrs. Adachi. They plant\u00a0vegetables and fruits<\/strong>\u00a0on their farm by themselves and they do not use pesticides.<\/p>\n
\"Fruit<\/p>\n
\"Vegetable<\/p>\n
At this traditional house<\/strong>, it is better to know some Japanese words<\/strong> in order to communicate with your hosts. But in this case, Google Translate will be your best friend, helping you have a conversation no matter the English ability of your host so you can spend a pleasant day and night at the farm stay.<\/p>\n
Habits and Customs<\/h2>\n
Nowadays where modernity takes all the place, it is good to know some of the habits and customs in the house.<\/p>\n
In this regard, you will have to take your shoes off in the genkan,\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>the entrances of all Japanese houses. You will also need to arrange them in the direction of your departure, as shown in the photo below.<\/p>\n
\"Entrance<\/p>\n
Since this is a traditional house, you will find sliding doors<\/strong> and tatami<\/strong><\/em> mats. You should not walk in with your shoes on, just walk barefoot or with your socks.<\/p>\n
The house, the room, and meals<\/h2>\n
Accommodations are available for up to 20 people and will allow you to experience a typical Japanese house<\/strong>. The room is really big and has air conditioning. There is futon<\/em>, a traditional Japanese bed<\/strong>, that you will sleep on. I have slept on one of them for several months and it’s a real pleasure.<\/p>\n
\"Traditional<\/p>\n
Notes: the toothbrush, razor, comb, and towels are provided. Please bring other amenities by yourself.<\/p>\n
The house has many Buddhist ornaments<\/strong> in the purest Japanese style.<\/p>\n
\"Buddhist<\/p>\n
At my request, they prepared a vegetarian meal, <\/strong>but\u00a0they usually serve meat and fish of course. Everything is cooked by Mrs. Adachi. A real feast, <\/strong>we experienced the true taste of seasonal products<\/strong>. During my conversation with them, I tell them that I really like u<\/em>meshu<\/em>, an alcoholic drink made from ume<\/em>, Japanese plums. Mr. Adachi <\/strong>then had me\u00a0taste the umeshu<\/em> which he makes by himself. I had one word to describe its taste: pure delight.<\/p>\n
Here are some of the course meals prepared with their own seasonal products.<\/p>\n
\"Meals<\/p>\n
\"Meals<\/p>\n
And breakfast!<\/p>\n
\"Breakfast<\/p>\n
\"Japanese<\/p>\n
\"Japanese<\/p>\n
Be careful though, it is very rare to have a sweet breakfast in Japan.<\/p>\n
A cafe in the center of the Japanese countryside<\/h2>\n
In the early morning, my host offered to show us\u00a0his garden<\/strong>. Walking ahead, I found a table and benches waiting for us. He invited me to drink coffee with a beautiful view<\/strong> of the Japanese countryside<\/strong>. Such a beautiful start to the day! We talked about many different subjects while sitting in silence sometimes. The beautiful sound of the birds and the wind<\/strong> were there to fill this silence at times.<\/p>\n
\"Terrace<\/p>\n
\"Take<\/p>\n
\"View<\/p>\n
Before leaving, we had a walk together in the surrounding countryside. A beautiful landscape! Land as far as eyes can see, there were plantations everywhere. The\u00a0Japanese countryside is splendid<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
\"The
Japanese countryside in Usuki<\/p><\/div>\n
Conclusion<\/h2>\n
In short, you will be welcomed by an\u00a0adorable family<\/strong>. You can spend a real moment of joy while eating quality products that respect the earth. If you are looking for authenticity<\/strong> and calm<\/strong> in the center of the Japanese countryside, this off-the-beaten-track<\/strong> farm stay in Usuki will meet your expectations perfectly.<\/p>\n
