At its heart lies a 244 m² main house (Omoya), where centuries‑old wooden beams, shoji screens, and an irori hearth evoke timeless tradition with every modern comfort. The first floor unfolds into a cozy living room, spacious dining area, fully equipped contemporary kitchen, a tranquil tatami room with hearth, one bedroom, and two baths — one modern, the other a fragrant hinoki (cypress) bath next to a miniature Japanese garden (tsuboniwa). Ascend upstairs to find two restful bedrooms framed by views of the lush gardens. Surrounding the villa are two traditional kura (storehouses) featuring classic namako‑patterned walls and interiors that stay pleasantly cool in summer and warm in winter. The manicured front garden hosts over ten azalea varieties, blooming radiantly each May, while the colorful maples of the rear garden bring autumnal magic through your living room windows. Every detail at Villa Azalea — from heated floors and high‑speed Wi‑Fi to plush bedding and quiet work nooks — balances authenticity with comfort, offering a living experience that whispers: “slow down, savor Japan’s timeless beauty.” Nestled in the tranquil Hirano area near Lake Suwa and Okaya City, the villa is a gateway to rich tradition and exploration. Visit Suwa Taisha, one of Japan’s oldest and highest‑ranked shrines, or wander through Takashima Castle with its “Floating Castle” charm. Discover craftsmanship at the Okaya Silk Museum, or stroll through Tsurumine Park, famed for its 30,000 azaleas and May festival bloom. Sample award‑winning sake from Suwa’s master brewers — blessed by pristine water, crisp air, and centuries‑old tradition. Relish local culinary gems like Okaya's famed unagi (freshwater eel), or browse vintage tunes at Cellar Records, a charming converted kura housing records, cassettes, and CDs. Beyond cultural riches, enjoy lakeside leisure: cruise Lake Suwa on a swan boat, or ride a thrilling amphibious “Duck Bus” that dips into the water. Escape into summery fields of hydrangea, lavender, and sunflowers around the Kirigamine highlands — or return in winter to ski, snowshoe, or witness the legendary omiwatari ice ridges. Families will delight in farmers’ markets, sake tours, nature walks, and festivals bursting with sound, light, and tradition. At Villa Azalea, you’re not just renting a space — you’re stepping into a living tapestry of history, nature, and thoughtful design. Whether you're sipping tea amid blooming azaleas or exploring Suwa’s cultural treasures, let your stay become a chapter in this storied legacy. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet -
