Opening September 2026 · not yet taking bookings
The Space
A home, not a hotel.
Our renovated kominka sits in the heart of Takada — a historic castle town with over 400 years of history. Traditional architecture meets modern comfort: tatami rooms, natural wood, and quiet mornings in the garden.
Five minutes to Takada Park and its famous cherry blossoms. Ten to the old gangi arcade — restaurants, ramen shops, wagashi, miso stores and more. Twenty-five to the deepest powder in Japan. Twenty-five to the Sea of Japan coast.

Sea of Japan beaches. Mountain hiking and trail running. Gion Matsuri festival. Fireflies along the river.
Fiery maple corridors at Myoko. Mushroom foraging. New rice harvest season. The quietest, most beautiful time.
