Full description

Water source village! New love in a hamlet where clear streams spring forth / This is why Maibara is called the water source village, near here is a source of clear spring water flowing abundantly, inhabited by tiny killifish that only live in pristine streams swimming contentedly. Despite convenient location, the home is blessed with rich natural environment and starry night skies. / The water that nourishes the region is Maibara's greatest charm! Even in this hamlet, a spring source called "Tenjin no Mizu" flows perpetually. / A 5-minute walk from the house, the landlord showed us this place. "When there's a Tenjin festival, we'd chill watermelons and juice in this pond. It's refreshingly cold in summer and stays at nearly constant temperature year-round." / "The greatest appeal of life here is definitely the perfect starry sky! At night it's dark and quiet, and I saw many meteors from the garden. An experience you can't have in cities or residential areas! Fireflies dance in the nearby stream, the air is clean, and nature is simply abundant." / Water channels and lanes crisscross the hamlet, a delightful walking neighborhood / People we met during interviews kindly greeted us, and these warm interactions were heartwarming. / The house sits at the hamlet's entrance, so the road in front is wide and parking is ample, easy to drive. "Even in heavy snow, the snow removal truck clears early, so we never had trouble getting in or out." / Sunny main house and garden with vegetable patch. South-facing and perfectly sun-lit!
