京都北部の美しい家-美しい自然に囲まれています！

In 2019, I opened Ohara Sensui, a vacation rental that visitors from Japan and overseas can enjoy the wonderful nature of Ohara, where I was born and raised.

I am deeply appreciative of all of the relationships I have been blessed with, as well as my family's support in making it happen, and I hope that our guests will enjoy Ohara's beautiful natural surroundings, including the breathtaking sunset and beautiful sky visible from Ohara Sensui, as well as the nearby historic temples.

My family and I believe that our relationship with our guests during their travels is extremely valuable.

We hope our guests' stays at Ohara Sensui will be filled with smiles and wonderful memories.


Rieko & Family

According to historical records, Ohara Area is traced back to the 8th century and prospered as a village connecting the city center and the northern coastal villages.

Kenreimonin Tokuko who was the mother of the young emperor, Emperor Antoku, in the Heian Period (795-1195) came to Jakkoin in Ohara after all her family, the Heike clan was overthrown, and mourn for the family.

Ohara people wanted her to remember the old days when the Heike clan had been in power and gave the purple-colored pickles called Shibazuke. Purple is the color which only people in high position were allowed to wear; so Kenreimonin Tokuko appreciates the pickles and calls them Murasakiha (purple leaves in Japanese) pickles.

A while after, the pickles stared to be called Shibazuke (another reading way of Murasakiha in Japanese). Shibazuke pickles are well-known products in Ohara to this day.
