Inside a Traditional Japanese House –Indian Living in Japanese Village

I stayed in a traditional Japanese house deep inside Yoshikawa Village, located in the peaceful hills of Nanao, Ishikawa Prefecture. This place is far away from Japan’s big cities and tourist crowds — no neon lights, no traffic — just untouched nature, rice fields, forest trails, and slow village life. The house I stayed in was a classic minka-style wooden home, probably over a hundred years old. It had tatami flooring, sliding shoji and fusuma doors, an earthen doma entryway, and open wooden interiors designed to breathe with the seasons. Everything about it felt timeless — the way light entered the rooms, the quiet sounds outside, and the minimal design that reflects harmony with nature. Yoshikawa village is one of those rare places in Japan where tradition is still alive. Surrounded by mountains and farmland, this little-known corner of Ishikawa offers a real glimpse into how people in Japan used to live — and in some places, still do. The region is part of the Noto Peninsula and is known for its seafood, handmade crafts, and strong local culture. But what I loved most was the silence, the slowness, and the authenticity of daily life here. In this video, I’ll show you how traditional Japanese homes actually look from the inside, how life flows in a small village like Yoshikawa, and what it felt like as an Indian staying in one of the most peaceful and authentic parts of Japan. This was not a hotel or a recreated experience — this was the real thing
