🌿 Welcome to HABi‑Sekido5!
■ Property Overview
HABi‑Sekido5 is a host‑stay guesthouse limited to one group per day.
Located at the foot of a mountain and surrounded by greenery reminiscent of a Totoro‑like forest, the environment is exceptionally quiet.
You can relax while listening to the gentle sounds of birds throughout the day.
Located at the foot of a mountain and surrounded by greenery reminiscent of a Totoro‑like forest, the environment is exceptionally quiet.
You can relax while listening to the gentle sounds of birds throughout the day.
The house sits slightly higher than the surrounding homes on a corner lot, and because the veranda faces the mountain, you will hardly feel the presence of other people indoors—even though the area itself is relatively populated.
A hiking trail begins right behind the house, and the view from the nearby lookout point is truly spectacular.
Renovations were completed in multiple phases:
- Bathroom, washroom, and toilet in 2022
- Exterior renovation in summer 2024
- Partial renovation of the Japanese‑style room and dining room in July 2026
■ Host Stay
The host lives on the second floor, but the main living area is located away from the guest room, so you will rarely notice any household noise.
