After launching accommodations in Shizunai, Hokkaido last year, MUJI in Japan has now renovated and transformed a century-old traditional farmhouse in Kamogawa City, Chiba Prefecture into a standalone Airbnb guesthouse called “MUJI Base Kamogawa,” offering a unique experience of wabi-sabi style accommodations.
Located in the outskirts of Tokyo, Kamogawa is approximately a 90-minute drive from Tokyo. MUJI Base Kamogawa, situated here, is surrounded by lush greenery and offers a peaceful accommodation option away from the hustle and bustle.
The MUJI Base Kamogawa Airbnb, with a total area of 47 tatami mats and 4 bedrooms, combines minimalist simplicity with Western aesthetics and incorporates the wabi-sabi style into the old house. The decoration retains traditional Japanese elements such as tatami mats and paper sliding doors, and incorporates local mountain and forest resources, natural color tones, practical materials, and lightweight and flexible furniture to create a simple and refreshing space. The natural and harmonious atmosphere blends the old and the new styles, bringing out a serene and tranquil ambience.
The daily necessities available in the guesthouse also come from the MUJI brand, such as various household appliances, kitchenware, bath and hair products, embodying a simple and high-quality lifestyle. As for food, MUJI Base Kamogawa sources fresh vegetables and seasonal ingredients from local farms and ranches, offering guests a Japanese-style breakfast and Western-style bread set menu featuring seasonal dishes.
In addition, Airbnb accommodations also collaborate with local farms and ranches to offer various hands-on activities, such as providing local tours for travelers, experiencing dairy products on the farm, visiting dairy product stores, harvesting melons, etc., allowing guests to personally experience the rural lifestyle and culture of the area.
MUJI Base Kamogawa has officially opened this month. The cost of a two-night stay starts from 55,000 Japanese yen and can accommodate up to 5 people. If you are interested, you can make a reservation on the official website of MUJI Base Kamogawa.
