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

It’s an amazing experience of staying in a Japanese museum.

The hot pot doesn’t work well and not sufficient cooking utensils.

Absolutely beautiful and a fantastic opportunity to stay in a traditional house. We loved it. It was very clean and well maintained. The small town is very peaceful and we had a wonderful meal at a small restaurant 4 mins walk from the house.

Nothing not to like.

Loved everything about the property, it’s sooo special and well kept

A delightful stay in Ikuno! This traditional Japanese house offers an authentic experience with its serene atmosphere, perfect for relaxation. The cozy dining spots nearby enhance the charm, and the friendly locals make you feel right at home. Highly recommended for a genuine Japanese retreat!

We spent one night here on our way from the Sea of Japan to Castle Himeji. A very unique place and historical that feels like "true" Japan. Would definetely recommend it for one night.

We had a wonderful stay in Ikuno! If you want to explore rural Japan, this small village and the traditional apartment are the best choices.

Everything

The accommodation is fantastic; it's like being in a movie. Rehan is the best host we could have asked for, helping us immediately with a medical emergency we had. I highly recommend staying here!

We really enjoyed the experience and ambience that the building and all its traditional features including location provided. We spent a nice slow week here. It surprisingly snowed lots! This made it very cosy to use the living space to relax and breath, watching the snow fall out of the expansive corridor windows. The tiled bathroom was also a very cool experience.

We loved the whole property! No complaints (:

I loved everything about my trip at Ikuno ! The house was already warmed up when I arrived. Inside the house, traditional architecture allowed for very nice cosy rooms. If wanted, it was possible to open up the sliding doors to have a nice outdoor view. The kotatsu was perfect for reading books while keeping me warm, and the old bath experience was quite something. The house is located near lot of shrines to visit. If outdoors walk on mountain pathways is your thing, you won't be disappointed! People here are quite enthusiastic about awnsering your questions about the history of the city, which is rich to say the least. If you want to experience what it is like to live in a traditional japanesse home while having things to discover all around it, I can only recommend you to take a look at Ikuno Stay !
