ZEN HOUSE Kominka
Retreat
Japan’s Tranquil Tradition in Wallowa’s Wild
book an unforgettable escape
Zen House Kominka, nestled in the breathtaking landscapes of Wallowa County, Oregon, is a lovingly restored kominka—a traditional Japanese farmhouse—originally crafted in Japan and carefully reassembled in the northeast corner of Oregon. Surrounded by majestic mountains, wide open skies, and dynamic nature, it offers a rare opportunity to experience the quiet elegance of rural Japanese life in one of America’s most stunning and untouched regions.
"Staying at Kominka was like living in a fairy tale."

What Is a Kominka?
A kominka is a traditional Japanese farmhouse built to blend naturally with its environment, embodying simplicity and craftsmanship.
This home stands among only a handful of authentic kominka outside Japan—one other notable example being the Shōya House at The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens in California, where a similar structure was relocated and preserved as part of their Japanese Garden.
Unlike the Shōya House, which is a museum exhibit and not available for overnight stays, guests can stay overnight at Zen House Kominka for a fully immersive experience.
Visitors can book stays at Zen House Kominka through Airbnb or VRBO and immerse themselves in timeless craftsmanship and serene beauty.
More Than a Stay—A Journey into Tradition
In addition to lodging, traditional Japanese tea ceremony experiences, inspired by ancient wisdom, are available to help guests create a sacred space that fosters connection to their true self and what truly matters. Personalized coaching sessions, integrating neuroscience and mindful practices, support meaningful transformation and a thriving mindset. For a deeper cultural immersion, an authentic Japanese dinner can also be arranged.
Here, surrounded by the awe-inspiring beauty of Wallowa County, you can breathe deeply, reconnect, and grow—cultivating serenity, clarity, and purpose rooted in simplicity and mindful presence.
