Pear Orchard · Kurayoshi, Tottori
The Orchard
This is a field where pears are grown. The couple who grow them also host a single party each day, in a kominka located away from the orchard.
Pear farmers,
one party a day
Field
A pear orchardbefore it is an inn
In the satoyama of Sekigane, Kurayoshi, a farming couple who moved here grow pears. Blossom, fruit, and the return to the soil — that cycle is the center of life in this house.
The pear in the inn's name is not decoration. The fruit on the table and the walks we can offer come from the orchard's season.

Inn
A kominka run by pear farmers
- A 70-year-old kominka, reserved for one party a day
- Dinner and breakfast are prepared by the farming couple
- A five-minute walk to Sekigane Onsen
The orchard and the kominka are in separate locations. If you would like to visit the orchard, please ask when you make your reservation.
Year
A year of pears
What you can see in the field, and what we can show you, changes with the season.
-
01
Spring blossom
From late April into early May, the pear orchard fills with white blossom. If you wish, walk them with the couple.
-
02
The harvest season
When the pears are ready, fruit from the field joins the table. What we can serve depends on that year's crop.
-
03
The quiet of winter
After the orchard's busy hands slow, the satoyama is still here. The path to Sekigane Onsen, a five-minute walk, becomes a stroll under the stars on a clear night.
Table
From the field to the table
There are no restaurants or supermarkets nearby. Dinner and breakfast are prepared by the farming couple, centered on vegetables and fruit just picked. In pear season, the orchard's fruit is part of that meal.
Snacks, tea, and juice may be brought in. For alcohol, we serve what the inn keeps, charged separately.
Stay
A second home, kept by pear farmers
Guests are welcomed not as customers, but as dear friends. The hosts live in another part of the same building. The guest rooms, the engawa, and the washroom are for those who stay.
The scent of tatami, the warmth of wood, and satoyama beyond the window. This is not a polished hotel. With the couple who grow the pears, come feel a life lived with the land.
Reservation
Stay with the pear farmers
Please ask early for the season you hope for. The orchard is away from the inn, so if you would like a visit, please ask about it with the season when you reserve.
