A stylish, self-styled boutique hotel converted from a 150-year-old traditional Japanese folk house. Located directly on the historic Chichibu Shrine approach road (Banba Street), it blends classic elements like mud walls and exposed ceiling beams with sleek modern interiors. It features just 6 unique guest rooms—including a completely renovated dual-story storehouse (Kura)—and offers guests a complimentary private bookable cypress bath (Hinoki) and a light continental breakfast.
