🍂 A Timeless Retreat — The Former Shirasu Residence, Buaiso (Machida)

#hellohalloween Hidden among the greenery of Machida City, the Former Shirasu Residence “Buaiso” tells the quiet story of Jiro and Masako Shirasu, who moved here from Tokyo in 1943 and spent the rest of their lives in this serene countryside home. The property exudes rustic elegance — a harmony between simplicity and sophistication. Beside a stately persimmon tree, you’ll find the restaurant, once the couple’s workshop where they enjoyed their crafts and hobbies. Inside, the space feels both warm and refined: ☀️ High ceilings and sunlight streaming through large windows create a peaceful atmosphere. 🎨 Decorative objects and paintings line the walls, each adding a touch of the couple’s aesthetic sensibility. 🍴 The menu features family recipes passed down from the Shirasu household, blending nostalgia with authenticity. It’s a place where you can pause and feel as if time has slowed — a glimpse into a life lived with intention and grace. 📍 Buaiso (Former Shirasu Residence), Machida, Tokyo #buaiso #machidatrip #hiddenjapan #traditionaljapan #historicplaces #teahousevibes #japanheritage #tokyodaytrip #culturaljapan #slowlife
