We also serve seasonal, fresh fruits sourced directly from Yamanashi Prefecture. • The Garden: Our garden faces the facility, offering a tranquil space where the changing trees and flowers allow you to truly feel the passage of the seasons. • The Neighborhood: Located in a quiet residential area near a local school, the surroundings are safe and peaceful, ensuring a worry-free stay.

Thank you for visiting our page. I’ve renovated the home of my great-aunt, who was a master of the tea ceremony, to create Ann—a place where Japanese tradition and Western comfort live in harmony.I have always cherished the simple joy of a relaxed conversation over a cup of tea. It was that very spirit of connection that inspired me to breathe new life into this house. In our on-site cafe, you can enjoy authentic matcha, seasonal Yamanashi fruits, and handmade sweets while taking in the view. Whether you are looking for a quiet moment to gaze at the garden or are a free spirit traveling with your beloved dog, you are more than welcome here.
