民泊、やっと再開。蔵宿【こひんどう】

(English post to follow)

ご予約はこちらからどうぞ!

家の修復もかなり苦労したけど、登録するまでの道も予想外の難航。保健所に届出が受け入れられ、さあ!と意気込むと、今度はAir BnBで一悶着。夫のアカウントでリスティングしていたが、オーストラリアの身分証明書と繋がっており、あちらはあちらでリスティングがあるため身分証明書を変更できず、私が新たに日本用のアカウントを作ることに。つ、疲れた。

でもオープンするや否や予約は入るし、思いもよらないところで、色々な人が進んで協力を申し出てくれた。かなり嬉しい。皆さん、本当にありがとう。

このサイトを偶然に読んでくださった危篤なアナタ(笑)、こちらが民泊のサイトです。

今後も味のある体験をオファーし、伝統文化や知られざる広島・日本の魅力を発信することができるよう努力します。

微力ながら英語と日本語を通じて文化継承に貢献できるといいな。

 

Storehouse Accommodation “Cohindoe” open in Hiroshima.

A long and winding road, indeed.  But we did it.  Finally.  We can receive guests here at Cohindoe at last.  Come to think of it, it was almost 10 years ago in Kyoto when we first thought of doing this.  I can write about all our struggles to get here but let me just say I’m just relieved we are here now.   I would like to thank all those lovely people involved in making this place as it looks now.  It is still work in progress so watch this space!

I can confidently say that it is a very unique place.  We are very proud of it and would love to share this space with all interested.  I would like to believe that the house this close to the city or this old did not survive the A-bomb for nothing.  We can tell you about the history of this area, how people coped with the war and what this house went through.  It is still full of old tools here.

Have you watched the movie “In This Corner of the World”? If not, I highly recommend you watch it before visiting Hiroshima.  The girl Suzu reminds me of my grandmother who would have led a similar life.  My ancestors used to make Nori (seaweed sheets) here too, which Hiroshima boast the second oldest history in making it next to Tokyo.  It is one of the things I would suggest you buy to take home, by the way,  if you are into food like I am.

It’s past midnight.  I feel like I may not be making much sense as my eyelids are barely open.  Good night everyone, hope to see you here at “Cohindoe” one day.  Soon.

I am sharing our journey of restoring our old house in Hiroshima. I've lived away from Japan for so long, I truly cherish my time and opportunity to reconnect with my own culture. I am grateful I have a partner who enjoys DIY projects and understands what this house means to me. I am concerned that my fellow country people don't appreciate traditional architecture or culture - what's truly unique to Japan - as much. Passionate about resurrecting the values of "good old Japan" that are disappearing.
