Description

This 102-year-old traditional building is available for rent as a whole. The 15-room wooden mansion offers a valuable experience not found in modern homes. We started with the idea of maintaining and preserving this special house for future generations. This carefully restored home not only feels historic, but also harmonizes beautifully with modern comforts. It has a large kitchen and all the appliances you need for a long stay. It can accommodate up to 10 people. There are 3 bedrooms, so even multiple families and groups can maintain privacy. Each bedroom has a theme that represents Japanese culture. Please rest in the room of your choice. The beds are made by Simmons and Sealy to provide a comfortable, hotel-like sleep. There is a large 120-inch projector room where you can enjoy video content as well as photos and videos from your travels. The scenic area and Seto Ohashi Bridge are about 20 minutes by car, and Uno Port, the entrance to Naoshima, is 35 minutes away. It is the perfect base for a road trip. This is the perfect place for those who love art, history, and nature. Enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Seto Inland Sea and the quiet beauty of the islands. The space Japan's sense of beauty that transcends time and resides in the shadows The world of "In Praise of Shadows", the root of Japanese aesthetics, is certainly alive in our inn. As Jun'ichirō Tanizaki wrote, Japanese beauty is in the light and shadow. Built 102 years ago, this place where ancient Japanese traditional architecture transcends time and lives on today, with soft light streaming into the expansive space and creating deep shadows. It is not just darkness, but an indescribably rich expression born of the contrast with light. It is our greatest pleasure to see our guests from Europe, America, and Australia deeply empathize with the delicate beauty that resides in this tranquility. We strongly feel that our mission is to continue to carefully convey the story of light and shadow that this precious traditional architecture has to everyone around the world who loves this inn. This house has been carefully preserved. We look forward to meeting those who love this history and the time that has accumulated. We hope you will cherish this space to help connect this house to the future. About the accommodation Enjoy a comfortable time in a refined and comfortable space with Japanese tradition. I promise you a spiritually luxurious stay with your loved ones. [Reasons why it's perfect for families and groups] 1. A large space that outdoes the rest of 11LLDDK. Everyone is together until bedtime, and when you sleep, it's private 2. Netflix in the living room with a 120-inch projector 3. Time travel in a 102-year-old space that you can't experience anywhere else 4.

Best location 3 minutes from Kurashiki's best cultural district, Kurashiki Life Park, and Mizushima Ryokuchi Fukuda Park The highlight of the trip is the time spent at the inn after the sun goes down. The size of the inn is so large that you can leave your suitcase around, and the space that has been used for 102 years has been revived with a new breath of fresh air, so you can enjoy a rough and fun stay with everyone without a pretentious atmosphere. There is also 11LLDDK, so you can be with everyone until you go to sleep, and when you go to sleep, you can enjoy your privacy.
