Since 1970, the home has been the main residence of a French man named Frank Riva, who has fallen in love with the exquisite charms and beauty of the surrounding region. Having returned to his home country in 2004, he left the residence to his family in order to create a cultural center in which international exchanges can be had.

Frank and his wife Misa are particularly interested in transmitting this heritage to a new generation of tourists.

Staying here, at the heart of the Japanese lifestyle, offers to travelers the opportunity to discover the unique hospitality of a culture that is always looking into it's traditions, and the chance to live in a comfortable and different environment.

Having lived in Osaka for more than 20 years, Frank awaits you with great pleasure to make you feel cozy and comfortable, and also to help you discover the region surrounding the home (Nara, 40km; Kyoto, 40km; Kobe, 30km). He can help you discover the wonderful landscapes, history centers and finest dining experiences in the area.
