Bouton/Bokakuan is a space created by renovating a former craft store and residence in a corner of a shopping street in Nogata City, Fukuoka Prefecture. The banks of the Onga River, which flows through the center of the city, and Mount Fukuchi, which can be viewed from the riverbed, are very beautiful. The city center, where time flows peacefully, is a place where you can spend your time at a leisurely pace. I enjoy listening to people's stories, reading books, taking photos, and taking walks. I also cherish my time by tending to the garden at Bokakuan. Please come and have a nice chat and share some quiet time together.

Bouton／Bokakuan
Bouton/Bogakuan is a community space and private lodging located in a corner of the shopping street.
We renovated a store and residence that was formerly a handicraft store. It is a space that has been carefully nurtured by combining old and new.
Bouton: A place that creates a quiet flow that connects places that pass from one small town to another.
Bokakuan: Traveling through everyday life and the margins of everyday life
Based on the concept, we create small journeys where you can feel the time and memories of people, things, experience, and place.
Enjoy the seasonal scenery by cycling from the Onga River riverbed to the Hibikinada coast
