Deep in the Shikoku mountains. You'll understand every Murakami character who ever walked away from their life.

House
Who is it for
Anyone who's ever wanted to actually live inside a Taschen book – not just look at one.
People drawn to traditional craft and materials. The house rewards that kind of attention.
Anyone comfortable with remoteness – there's nothing around, and that's the point.
Good to know
Breakfast and dinner are delivered to the house. Always more than you need.
Sleeping rooms are traditional, kitchen and bathrooms are modern. The onsen bathtub is worth it.
Hard to reach without a car, and taxis are scarce. Plan ahead – or just commit to staying put. Which you will anyway.
What stood out
Waking up to the valley, the old floors, the silence – and realising you have nowhere to be. That feeling.
