Abandoned Japanese home becomes stunning guesthouse.
Japanese traveler Daisuke Kajiyama and his Israeli partner Hila transformed two abandoned homes in Tamatori, Japan, into a guesthouse after struggling to find a traditional Japanese house. Kajiyama used traditional materials and repurposed items to keep the house authentic. He also learned about bamboo farming to register the property as an agriculture guesthouse. The couple welcomed their first guests in 2014 and have been hosting travelers from all over the world ever since.
