MUJI BASE KAMOGAWA
Sleep in a Century-Old Farmhouse in Chiba's Rural Heartland
Enjoy traditional Japanese country living at MUJI BASE KAMOGAWA, a beautifully restored farmhouse where terraced rice fields meet modern minimalist comfort in Chiba.
Leave Tokyo's urban sprawl for a peaceful retreat into Japan's agricultural heritage, where you can live like locals once did—without sacrificing modern convenience.
Nestled among KAMOGAWA's iconic terraced rice fields and satoyama landscapes, MUJI BASE KAMOGAWA offers an authentic glimpse into rural Japanese life. This traditional farmhouse, lovingly renovated by MUJI in 2019, maintains its original "ta-no-ji" floor plan (a distinctive layout characteristic of historic Japanese homes) while incorporating contemporary comforts that make your stay instantly relaxing. The 100-year-old structure was originally home to a farming family in this rice-growing region. Today, guests sleep on futons in spacious tatami rooms and enjoy thoughtfully curated MUJI amenities, including retort curries, freeze-dried soups, snacks, and drinks. With pajamas, skincare products, and toiletries provided, you can pack light and settle in immediately.
What sets this experience apart, however, is its immersive connection to the land. The property features a vegetable garden where guests can harvest seasonal produce throughout the year, providing a hands-on taste of agricultural life that connects you directly to your meals. The surrounding area, nourished by both land and sea, offers ingredients that reflect KAMOGAWA's rich natural bounty.
Beyond the farmhouse itself, visitors can explore MUJI Minnami no Sato, a local hub featuring a farmers' market brimming with regional produce, Café&Meal MUJI serving seasonal dishes, and occasional workshops that offer farm and harvest experiences. The area is also home to Oyama Senmaida, spectacular terraced fields that transform with each season and are carefully preserved through community conservation efforts supported by the KAMOGAWA Satoyama Trust.
MUJI BASE KAMOGAWA is ultimately an invitation to slow down and reconnect with nature's rhythms. Enjoy the taste of simplicity as you share meals with loved ones using fresh local ingredients, and watch the seasons shift across ancient rice terraces. For travelers seeking authentic rural Japan within reach of Tokyo, this traditional farmhouse provides the perfect base to experience satoyama life as it was meant to be lived: meaningfully, and in harmony with the land.
