    Driving in Japan: most foreign visitors need an International Driving Permit (IDP) under the 1949 Geneva Convention. Carry it with your home licence and passport. Japan does not issue IDPs — get yours at home before you fly. Drivers from Belgium, France, Germany, Monaco, Switzerland, and Taiwan can use an approved Japanese translation of their licence instead.

  • Check-in is from 3pm; check-out is by 11am. Arrive between 9am and 5pm and the house manager will meet you, show you around, and answer questions. Arriving later? You'll get self-check-in steps in advance, and the manager will visit the next morning. Full arrival details are sent once your booking is confirmed.

    The house is entirely yours — we just ask that you respect Kijimadaira's quiet, rural character. Keep noise low in the evenings, follow Japan's waste-sorting rules (explained in your pre-arrival notes), and treat the lodge and its surroundings with care.
