Irori Kominka Inn Shiguretei

【A hidden gem limited to 2 groups per day】 A hundred-year-old traditional house and the 'Hundred-Year God Shelf'. Refreshing local cuisine at 'Shiguretei'.

Located a little away from the center of Kitakata, 'Irori Kominka no Yado Shiguretei' stands quietly amidst the serene Satoyama landscape. This special space has been relocated and restored using traditional techniques without nails, from a hundred-year-old house that once stood deep in the mountains. Inside the tranquil building, intentionally devoid of televisions and clocks, a peaceful time flows, completely detached from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

As you pass through the noren, the first thing that catches your eye is the magnificent large irori placed in the center of the house.

• Crystal of artisan's skill: The three 'Hundred-Year God Shelves' handcrafted from the finest wood by skilled carpenters during the Taisho era boast an astonishing level of perfection, showing no cracks even after a hundred years.
• Serene atmosphere: Surrounded by thick pillars and beams blackened by the smoke of the irori, it has become a power spot radiating a sacred atmosphere.
