The Sanctuary of Simplicity
Nestled within the Chiba Prefecture, the Muji Base Kamogawa is a century-old property that once housed the Noda Printmaking Workshop. Radiating traditional charm, this countryside abode is close to the Kamogawa River and the Oyama Sannabata rice field – a serene setting described by Muji as 'the original landscape of Japan,' where nature and people coexist harmoniously.
Embracing the Muji Lifestyle
Step into a world curated with Muji's hallmark simplicity. The Muji Base Kamogawa offers an environment stocked entirely with Muji's iconic goods, creating a haven of minimalist living. Guests can book stays for two nights or more, with the experience priced at around £300. During their visit, they can indulge in Muji packaged meals or opt for fresh dishes crafted from seasonal local ingredients. From Muji pajamas to bedding and toothbrushes, every detail contributes to a soothing nighttime routine.
Enriching Experiences
Beyond the tranquility of the retreat, guests can choose to partake in local activities that connect them with the surroundings. Whether it's melon harvesting, dairy farming, or hiking, these experiences add a layer of enrichment to the stay. The Muji Base Kamogawa Airbnb strives to be more than just accommodations – it's a holistic escape into a lifestyle that values simplicity and nature.

A Vision for the Future
With the Kamogawa venture as a stepping stone, Muji plans to transform more vacant and abandoned houses (known as akiya) in Japan into curated retreats. This forward-thinking approach reflects Muji's commitment to creating spaces where guests can experience the essence of their brand while embracing the beauty of simplicity.
As Muji continues to redefine the boundaries of hospitality with their curated experiences, the Kamogawa Airbnb stands as a serene testament to the power of minimalism in transforming our relationship with spaces and ourselves.
