Welcome and thank you for visiting our website. Hello, I’m Midori Ohgi, the owner of OMOYA Soryo. OMOYA Soryo was born from the renovation of an old family house that had been vacant for many years — the house where my late father was born and raised. It is a cherished place filled with history passed down through my family for generations, and memories of time spent with loved ones and relatives. In recent years, as the issue of vacant houses has become increasingly serious across Japan, I felt a deep desire to preserve this home and turn it into a place that would once again bring people to the region — a place where people would gather, connect, and come and go. With this hope in mind, I made many trips from Chigasaki, Kanagawa where I live and began renovating it as a whole-house rental inn. Working under limited conditions, I aimed for a careful and high-quality renovation, closely collaborating with an understanding local construction company in Shobara. I was also actively involved in everything from the design process to on-site work. Words cannot fully express how much I was supported by those around me. In addition to generous assistance from the local government, many friends and volunteers helped with everything from painting walls to clearing overgrown grass. Thanks to the support of so many people, OMOYA Soryo has become a place where we can warmly welcome guests. During the renovation, I was fortunate to experience warm and welcoming interactions with local residents, which deepened my affection for this land even more. I hope that OMOYA Soryo becomes a place filled with a sense of nostalgia and the richness of nature found only here —a bridge that connects different regions, countries, and generations, and leads to a bright future for the community.
