Kominka Akari – Stay Information & Rates

Your Stay

Momen Kaido is a historic merchant street that flourished during the Edo and Meiji periods as a center of cotton trade.
Even today, traditional townhouses, sake breweries, soy sauce makers, and small local shops remain along the street, creating a quiet townscape where everyday life continues.

Stay in a 100-year-old traditional Japanese townhouse along the historic Momen Kaido street. 

The entire house is reserved exclusively for one group per stay, allowing you to relax in complete privacy and experience the atmosphere of traditional Japanese living.

This private machiya is ideal for couples, families, or small groups who wish to enjoy a peaceful stay while discovering the charm of a historic town.

The bedroom is furnished with two semi-double beds. Additional futons can be prepared, allowing accommodation for up to six guests.
However, to ensure a comfortable and relaxing stay, reservations are generally accepted for up to five guests. Please contact us in advance if you wish to stay with six people.
