The 20 tatami mat Japanese-style room is a private bedroom, and the kitchen and toilet are shared. There is a design office in the warehouse, and I work from 8:30 am to 6 pm on weekdays. You can also use the thatched cottage with a good view.  There is also air conditioning, but in the summer, if you open the veranda and hang a mosquito net, the summer night breeze will invite you to sleep comfortably. From spring to autumn, you can hear the nostalgic sounds of frogs, cicadas, and bell crickets.  If you are unfamiliar with charcoal or fire, I can help you if the timing is right. Firewood is free, but please bring your own BBQ charcoal if you use the sunken hearth. It is 1.6 km to the supermarket and 5 km to Izumo Station. It feels good to walk or jog along the Tanabe-michi Road and Kawato-te in the early morning. Please keep pets on the dirt floor. In July and August, please pick blueberries from the garden.

Stay in a self-contained warehouse in a quiet seaside town. Limited to one group per day, it's a warm, handmade, hideaway-like space.

We renovated a warehouse built during the Meiji era, creating a private space that retains the atmosphere of the time. It is an interesting inn with ingenuity and taste that the owner himself has carefully added. The village where this inn is located, Ishino, is a quiet village with many buildings that were inhabited by the clan during the time when Ishinomiyama was prosperous. Old and magnificent buildings remain, and it has a unique atmosphere that is not a fishing town, despite being on the sea. It is a quaint town sandwiched between the mountains and the sea. There is a 300-year-old house Kodomo Kagura, which has been designated as an intangible cultural property.
