It was a special and rare opportunity to experience the Yoimiya Autumn Festival on the day of our stay. Being exposed to the festival atmosphere and local culture made my memories even better. At the accommodation, the calm atmosphere of the old folk house soothed the soul and allowed us to relax slowly. Furthermore, the scent of the cypress bath was soothing, and I think we felt healed not only physically but also mentally.

Thank you for staying with us this time.I felt at ease in an inn that feels like the times.well-kept gardenspacious roomSleep in a big bed. Or you can use a futon in a Japanese-style room.I especially enjoyed the cypress bath.

As it is the residence of a headman eight years older than Himeji Castle, it is a rare facility that makes the most of its old structure and meets modern standards. As it is called the inner parlor of Himeji Castle, you can feel like a lord. Among them, when you take a leisurely look at the Japanese garden outside while soaking in the large cypress bath, you will feel like Taiko. The floor of the bedroom is also made entirely of cypress wood, so you can enjoy the feeling of taking a cypress bath without hot water, even under fluffy futons.

Used for a trip with two families of 8 people (3 adults, 5 children). The BBQ under the moonlit night was amazing! The room and bath were spacious and clean, and the children were very excited. I especially felt soothed by the scent of cypress in the bath.

Six of my female friends and I went there for two days and one night.The room and garden were beautiful, and the furniture and chest of drawers in the room were retro, so the overall calming yet nostalgic atmosphere was very soothing.The nice smelling cypress bath was also very nice and everyone was very satisfied.We brought our own food and enjoyed the BBQ outside!I hope you will enjoy it in many different seasons.

Conveniently located 30 minutes from Himeji City and 20 minutes from Central Park, it is highly recommended for people who come sightseeing by car. Also, the rooms are new and clean, and there is a piano at the entrance.

The service was good, the facilities were good, and it was comfortable. It was unified with wooden furniture and had all the electrical appliances so there was no inconvenience.

I visited with a friend in mid-May. There were many flowers blooming in the garden and the greenery was very beautiful. While retaining many of the good aspects of a Japanese house, we had a very comfortable time with modern facilities (and the latest). The bath was spacious, I could stretch my legs easily, the scent of cypress was pleasant, and I was able to relax my mind and body.If I have a chance, I would like to visit you again.
