Kozakura-Saryo is a great place to relax by Lake Ezu.
Away from the bustle, where you can feel the gentle lake breeze,
or admire the reflection of the landscape
mirrored on the water's surface -- come
and enjoy hard-to-find traditional Japanese sweets and tea
in a harmonious environment!
About House of Kita
We inherited this cypress wood house from my father who liked
architecture and precious woods.
Yaku cedar, cherry, pine and Tosa cedar which are now difficult to
obtain are used in this house and it has been built over the years by
Showa craftsmen including the furniture.
At the time of the Kumamoto earthquake, we planned to abandon the
reconstruction of the house due to severe damage leading to a condemnation judgment.
However, the awe-inspiring sight of late-blooming cherry blossoms and the lake's beauty
filled us with determination to rebuild. –the owner
