Winter is approaching, bringing with it the cold.
There are various ways to stay warm at home when it's cold out.
Last season, we introduced a gas fan heater in our home,
breaking away from the inefficiency of warming our living room with just an air conditioner.
When it comes to efficient heating, kotatsu is a common heater used in Japanese winters.
Why is kotatsu so efficient? Well,
it heats a specific, confined area, so its power consumption is around 600W, which is lower compared to air conditioners or electric heaters.
Also, because it doesn't warm the entire room, it's especially cost-effective for spacious living rooms or older houses with good ventilation.
However, one downside to a kotatsu is the need for storage when not in use.
It can certainly be in the way during summer or other times when not being used as a heater.
If you're someone who wants to use the kotatsu efficiently and doesn't want it to be in the way when not in use,
we recommend a natural wood kotatsu. Its appealing texture makes it usable throughout all seasons.
This is a cedar kotatsu
Even in seasons where you don't need a kotatsu futon, you can use it as a stylish table due to its great texture.
If you have a clean walnut-themed room, check this out

With natural wood kotatsu, you can use them not only during winter but also in other seasons,
eliminating the need for storage or purchasing a second table, making it cost-effective.
We hope you enjoy a warm and comfortable winter with our beautifully textured natural wood kotatsu. 【Author of this Article】
