Useful Information

Completely private lodging

All farmhouses are private, just like a vacation rental. Once you have checked in, you have all the house to yourself and your family.
Meals are not included in the basic stay plan, but we offer a wide range of dining options you can choose from. When making reservations, consult our team to arrange your own dining experience.

Tailored plans

Yamaura stay is not only a lodging, but a whole experience. You can enrich your stay by joining a walking tour led by a local or cooking with a cute grannie. Our team can suggest and arrange unique travel plans to make sure you enjoy your stay to the fullest.
