  Description

  As the room next door is occupied by a female guest, we are currently looking for a woman.
  
  Couples are generally welcome, but as we have a teenage daughter, we do not accept single male guests.
  
  Both my father and I are Bizen pottery artists.
  We live in a place called Bizen in Okayama, Japan.
  
  My father also grows peaches and grapes as a hobby.
  
  This year, we are planning to participate in art fairs and events in Berlin, Copenhagen, the Philippines, Poland, Brazil, Italy, and Osaka.
  
  ⸻
  
  * 2 bicycles available for use
  * My pottery studio is about a 5-minute walk away
  
  Please note:
  
  * No parties at the guesthouse (as there are neighbors next door)
  * The guesthouse and my home are separate
  
  When I am in Bizen, we can have lunch together.
  
  Facilities
  
  There is no Wi-Fi in the guesthouse.
  However, Wi-Fi is available in my studio, which is about a 5-minute walk away.
  
  ⸻
  
  We prefer someone who can stay for more than one month.
  However, we would first like to have a one-week trial stay.
  After that, we will have a meeting, and if we both feel it is a good fit, we would be happy for you to stay longer.
