WHAT THE DIVERSITY HADANO EXPERIENCE IS ABOUT

Experience the Japanese lifestyle

Looks like a movie set but feels like you’re at home.

Diversity Hadano is exactly the traditional Japanese style home you see in the movies.

We are located in a quiet environment. It is the best place to stay after busy sightseeing in bustling Tokyo.

Japanese good old wisdom and modern technology make eco-comfortable living possible. Breathable lime plaster walls and paper windows make Japanese humid summer drier. A thick traditional roof and edible green curtain block the heat from the sun.

In winter, you can get enough warmth from the sun in the living room and put your feet in “Hori Kotatsu” (a table with a heater covered by a blanket) in the dining room.

Edible garden

Creating an edible garden allows you to reconsider the idea that fruits and vegetables are things you must buy from a grocery store.

Every plant in the garden plays a role in producing seasonal food.

Birds sing, bees buzz, butterflies fly and lizards play. All of this is possible only because of our no-chemical, no-spray approach to gardening.
