"Sato no Co-living," a base for staying in the countryside. A workation that allows you to experience local life and expand your own potential.

Satono Co-living is a lodging facility where you can experience "working" and "living" in an integrated way within a rural mountain setting. The accommodation facility, Pierstone, offers private rooms and a shared workspace where you can concentrate on desk work in a quiet environment.

Meanwhile, in the separate building, "Satono Cake Studio," you can engage in cooking and product creation, and in the shop, "Community Space Shoya," you can participate in practical activities such as sales and marketing.

Your stay goes beyond simple remote work; it provides an environment where you can immerse yourself in local life and put your skills into practice.

A Practical Workstyle in a Rural Landscape

The greatest appeal of Satono Co-living is that it's not just about working, but also about practical experience. By offering both a quiet environment for desk work and a space to engage with real local activities such as cooking, manufacturing, and sales, it provides a stay that expands the possibilities of both work and life.

As a workation base where you can gain new perspectives while engaging with the local community, it offers valuable time that is different from your everyday routine.

A spacious 3DK apartment perfect for short-term to long-term stays.

The accommodation is a 3DK type, featuring a kitchen, living room, and two bedrooms (one Japanese-style and one Western-style). Fully furnished with furniture, appliances, and Wi-Fi, it provides an environment where you can easily balance work and life.

At Pierstone, you can concentrate on desk work in a quiet environment, while also enjoying relaxed interaction with other guests through the shared spaces.

With flexible stay options ranging from short-term to long-term, you can live at your own pace while immersing yourself in the community.

Fostering relaxed connections with local people

The separation of "workplace" and "practical experience" is highly valued by many guests. While concentrating on work in a quiet accommodation setting, guests can also participate in real-world activities such as cooking and sales, expanding the possibilities of workation.

Furthermore, the ease with which natural interactions with local people occur, and the ability to build relationships even in a short period, is also appreciated. A key feature is that the stay doesn't end as a one-off event, but leads to continued engagement.
