Teruyuki Kuchu
Teruyuki Kuchu The owner of the Satoyama Guest house Couture. I used to be a backpacker, and have traveled around world twice. After having worked at hotel, travel agency as tour guide, I moved to this countryside to open guesthouse. My hobbies: Traveling, Climbing mountains(I climbed Mt.Kilimanjaro), watching movies and anime. Eriko Kuchu My wife. She is from Osaka. and still lives in Osaka. Her Hobbies:Climbing mountains ( climbed at Mt Kilimanjaro together), Eating, Japanese r Flower arrangement. We want to make this village fun. Actually there are lots of possibilities around. So from time to time, we make some tour showing around, giving advice to look for the house for settlement, and so on.
Our village is really remote. It takes about 2 hours from Osaka or Kyoto city. it is really countryside(Satoyama). there are no convenience store or super market. but in the other hands, only 2 hours ride takes you another Japan which you have never seen. and only half an hour ride takes you to The Sea of Japan, where you can swim, fishing, or surfing. And near the guest house, there is ONSEN (Hot spring). We can help shopping if you want to buy local chicken and vegetable which are not grown in our field. please ask us anytime. if possible, please bring what you might need. At last, you can enjoy trekking, cycling, and meeting locals or "I-turn" people(people moved from big cities) and then learn about their new lifestyle.
