Japan's Oldest Remaining Company Housing -Ikuno Stay

とてもゆっくりとした快適な時間を過ごせました。 部屋、お風呂、布団も清潔でキッチン周りの調理器具や食器がとても充実してて助かりました。 真夏でしたが、クーラーもちゃんときいていて涼しく過ごせました。

I came upon the town of Ikuno just south Asago when I was researching our trip to Japan. I was at first intrigued by the beauty of the homes. Secondarily, I love the fact that it was just a little over an hour south of Kinosaki, the onsen town. It made for the perfect loop from Kyoto to Kino saki down to Ikuno and back to Osaka. Not only was the architecture, beautiful, the town people were welcoming and warm. For over 1000 years, the town blossom around Japan’s most productive silver mine. You can visit it and go through the tunnels. You can also rent electric bikes at this house/museum stay. The host speaks English well and was incredibly informative about the history and culture Ikuno. He also had a lot of recommendations of places to visit and to eat. He even set up a incredibly intimate and memorable dinner with a local chef for our family that was one of the highlights of our trip. I’m so glad we took a chance on this lesser known location. Getting away from all the tourist hustle and bustle to see how people in Japan really live in small towns, day to day, felt like a ,deeper dive into the culture.

ゴールデンウィーク中の家族旅行で利用しました。歴史ある古民家に宿泊できてよかったです。掃除が行き届いていないところが少し気になりましたが、スタッフさんの対応は素早くてよかったです。お部屋が広いので、家族みんなでゆっくり過ごすことができました。

鍵が分からなくて電話にもメールしたが対応がなく、説明書を読んだ通りやったものの開かず、そしたら普通に南京錠が空いていた。鍵が分からず、南京錠しかなかったちめ、防犯面は皆無でした

Amazing historical house in beautiful little town but the electric heaters are not very warm and didn't function properly shutting down at night dropping the temperature in the house to 49 degrees where you can see your breath and your head is cold outside the covers. We had to leave after 1 night because it was sooooo cold. The manager was not responsive. I would suggest not staying here unfortunately.
