About

A place where you would want to come back. We try to keep a cozy, home-like atmosphere where you can relax and chill out after your long day of traveling.

In our 100-year-old “Machiya”(an old traditional Japanese house) we only have Japanese style beds “Futon”(sleeping on tatami floor), shared bathrooms, shower rooms and a kitchen, also free Wi-Fi which can be used anywhere inside.

In our cafe on the first floor, you can choose to sit alone and enjoy your moment, or share the long table with other travelers and share your fun experiences from your trip. We provide breakfast set from 9am for 2 hours, at 700 yen.

Characteristic old Japanese house. Really great and friendly staff, making the place feel nice and cozy. The guesthouse is above a cafe. The place is old so don’t expect anything fancy, and bathroom facilities are shared between genders. Breakfast only starts at 9am, so it’s a bit late for most people. There are basic kitchen facilities to use.
