Facilities
Relaxed and Open-Minded
At Tsuchi to DISCO we do our best to make the time and space we share enjoyable and comfortable, but we do not treat you as “customers” in an overly formal way. We try to build our relationship through communication as equals.
To avoid any mismatch in expectations, we also offer an online meeting or a visit before your stay. If you are interested, feel free to reach out via the contact page.
The Building
The main house, over 100 years old, has been renovated as a guesthouse, and the storehouse as a club. There is a large cherry tree in front of the house, rice paddies and fields beside it, and mountains and bamboo groves behind it, a setting surrounded by nature. While keeping the charm of the old farmhouse, we have added a modern kitchen and bathroom for just the right level of comfort.
Dining & Kitchen
A shared space full of character: ceiling beams, plaster walls, solid wood floors and furniture made from reclaimed timber. There is a DJ booth and a record collection, so feel free to use them if you are interested. Some nights the mirror ball turns. Bar time and breakfast are served in this room.
Multi-Purpose Room
A spacious 12-mat (about 20 m²) room with a high beamed ceiling and solid wood floors. There is a piano and a guitar, but use it however you like: yoga, dancing, or anything else.
Bedrooms
A detached room surrounded by traditional natural materials: earthen walls, shoji screens and rush tatami mats. Enclosed by the courtyard and back garden, the large windows look out onto greenery for a fresh, calm atmosphere. Bedding is cotton futon laid over a mattress to be gentle on your body, and the sheets are organic cotton.
The Fields
We practice organic, pesticide-free farming based on natural farming ideas. The vegetables and fruit we harvest appear on the table that day. Harvesting and farming experiences are also possible. Just ask.
DISCO Forest
We are tending the woods and garden around Tsuchi to DISCO to create “DISCO Forest,” a place to play and relax.
Guided by the idea of “forest care that makes the forest happy,” we also offer hands-on activities in which you engage with, and sometimes confront, the raw power of Noto’s nature, and come to understand the forest and what it means to live alongside it.
(Planned with: Mori no Tane / Shuccho Moridukuri-tai)
We can also offer this as a light-to-strenuous nature experience and a way to get some exercise. If you are interested, feel free to ask.
Kurabu (Storehouse Club)
We turned the storehouse next to the main house into “Kurabu,” a space for club parties. We repaired the earthen walls that fell in the earthquake ourselves, installed speakers, a DJ booth and a mirror ball, and hold parties from time to time. With no neighbors nearby we can turn the volume up, and the earthen walls give a sound people love (they absorb sound, so it is easy on the ears). Unlike an ordinary club, it sits in the middle of nature: every time, we light a big bonfire in the back garden where you can drink while gazing at the stars (our lounge area). We also welcome private bookings of the space, so feel free to get in touch.
