Japan's Oldest Remaining Company Housing -Like a Ghibli Scene

Difficult to find the entrance, but the host was very communicative through the app.

No complaints. I enjoyed the stay and getting to enjoy a traditional Japanese house seeing antiques throughout was amazing.

Opening the lockbox was easy and once I got inside the house was already cozy with heat.

It took me a couple minutes both to remember which house I’d booked and to figure out which house was which.

I’m not even sure where to begin — our stay in Ikuno was truly unforgettable. Our host, Rehan (a fellow South African living in Ikuno), went above and beyond for us. He offered to fetch us in Kobe walked us around the city, drove us all the way to Ikuno and even organised the most incredible meal for us at the local izakaya. His kindness set the tone for the whole stay. The accommodation itself was breathtaking - a beautifully renovated traditional company house that felt both historic and homely. Spacious, comfortable, and equipped with everything we needed. One of my favourite moments was waking up to the sound of rain and looking out at the trees on the mountain. Pure magic. I would recommend this stay in a heartbeat. The accommodation is remarkable, the town is enchanting, and Rehan’s generosity, passion, and knowledge made the experience feel genuinely special. This was my favourite part of my entire trip in Japan and moments I will never forget. Thank you Rehan, cannot wait to visit again!

Nothing. it was perfect

清潔感があり、細かな気配りがされていて、特に不自由なこともなくとても快適にすごすことごできました。

4人での予約でしたが3人分の用意になっていました。スタッフがすぐに対応してくださいました。 駐車場や玄関口までのアプローチが、少しわかりにくかったです。

Maison de style typiquement Japonais avec du cachet. A notre arrivée, la maison était préparé avec l'éclairage et le chauffage en route. Merci pour cette attention.

Though a traditional Japanese house with a long history, there are modern comforts and we were able to enjoy our stay and slept well. Good space and sufficient heating. The bath tub is big and deep, fills up quickly and drains off super fast too. It is fairly near to good golf courses, Ritsuunkyo and Tonomine Highlands and less than an hour to Himeiji Castle. We enjoyed these places.

The kitchen is small, with limited pots and utensils. Can't do serious cooking. Could have provided more bath and face towels for a 4 night stay (only 1 set provided). For unit 19, the neighbour staying at unit 9 has to access by walking past our unit, hence not ideal. Two of the recommended places for dinner were closed even though they were supposed to be open.
