About Mitsuo

Hello, I'm Mitsuo, an architect and CEO of Kohun Construction, an architecture firm based in Kannabe. Born in Kyoto in 1964, I grew up in Osaka. In 1991, I moved to the Kannabe highlands, and now I manage three businesses: Kohun Construction Architecture Company, an organic cafe named "BOSK," and an accommodation business - Manba Kogen Lodge.

My passion for travel has taken me to various places, including Australia, America, Europe, and Asia (Thailand, India, Malaysia, Nepal, Bhutan, Laos). I have a deep interest in the people and cultures of Southeast Asia. These experiences have shaped my values, aligning with Japanese samurai who cherish knowledge, spirit, and meaningful experiences.

 

With this in mind, I established Manba Kogen Lodge as a space to connect and foster relationships with people worldwide, especially those from Southeast Asia. A warm welcome awaits you at Manba Kogen Lodge, where you can experience genuine Japanese hospitality.

Feel free to explore and connect with us at Manba Kogen Lodge.
