A private villa on Lake Biwa, <ENINARU>, themed around 'creating space in your schedule,' is set to open. It's a villa where you can keep the desire to have fun, but without pre-planning activities, and by eliminating smartphone notifications during your stay, you can experience regaining the 'real feeling of rest.' Limited to two groups per day, this lakefront villa offers a view of the sunrise and the lake from a large window. It is accessible in about 90 minutes by car from the city center.

A space for time to do nothing Background: Our holidays and trips have become filled with schedules and information. Even if we can get around efficiently, we often 'don't feel rested.' Furthermore, with the spread of remote work and smartphones, the boundary between work and private life has blurred, making it normal to be constantly surrounded by information. As a result, many people feel 'tired even when they're supposed to be resting' or 'their mind is constantly working.' ENINARU confronts this reality, focusing not on 'what to do' but on 'where to create space.'

What we value Our goal was not just a place 'to stay,' but a place where 'time to return to oneself' is naturally born during the stay. For example, going out for SUP at sunrise, or taking a deep breath while listening to the sounds of the lake. We have also prepared several activities that can be chosen based on your mood of the day, without packing your schedule. Moving away from 'have to do' to being honest about 'what I want to do now.' Unhurried by anyone, as you reclaim your own time, you'll find your mind and body reset. We offer such an experience at this place.

'Creating space in your schedule' — Four experience designs 1. Time just to gaze at the lake: The living room's large window, as well as the bedroom, bath, and lounge, are all lake-view, designed to create 'empty time' just for watching the sunrise and the changing sky and lake. 2. To avoid being conscious of time and schedules: We have intentionally not placed clocks in the rooms. There are no guide maps or pamphlets. Meals are provided as chef-supervised meal kits so you can eat whenever you like. 3. Digital Detox: Guests can choose to leave their smartphones with us and receive an instant camera and a notebook instead. You can enjoy your stay by eliminating notifications and reducing the amount of incoming information. 4. Do anything, or do nothing: The villa is equipped with many experiences to make your stay memorable, so there's no need to decide what to do in advance. These include a sauna, yoga mats, a book recommended by a book selection meister, SUP, canoeing, kayaking, and local craft beer and sake from Shiga, provided free of charge. We also provide top-quality bedding, recovery wear for a quality sleep, and a large-screen projector for watching your favorite movies and dramas.

From a place to stay, to a 'sanctuary for the soul' ENINARU is not just a place for accommodation. It is a place that brings space to your time and surroundings, away from the hustle and bustle of the city and an efficiency-driven life. It is a place where you can have a stay that reminds you of the important things you may have forgotten, allowing your mind and body to return to their 'true selves.' ENINARU will be born in the spring of 2026 on the shores of Lake Biwa, Shiga. We invite you to experience a stay that is not just about lodging, but about 'reclaiming your true self.'
