"Entire Building Rental" - Stay in the Storehouse Suite and indulge in local gourmet delights.

Shirataka Town in Yamagata Prefecture, praised as the "Arcadia of the East," is a place where beautiful nature remains untouched. In 2021, historic storehouses and residences, watched over by the Iide Mountain Range, were fully renovated into "Dozo Suites" accommodations. Surrounded by a vast garden, all four storehouses have been transformed into private luxury spaces as "one-building rental suites with cypress baths." Enjoy an extraordinary stay in these charming rooms while admiring rare trees and natural beauty in the garden, experiencing the tranquil and serene flow of time in this peaceful countryside. For dining, a young chef skilled in French cuisine crafts dishes that highlight local ingredients while embracing regional culture and traditions. Dinner features a course menu showcasing "local gourmet delights," paired with exquisite Japanese sake or wine for an elevated experience. Breakfast includes traditional fermented foods such as miso soup, natto, and pickles—an ideal way to rejuvenate your body at the start of the day. Savor seasonal culinary treasures rooted in local traditions while reflecting on the charm of these historic storehouses. Indulge your mind and body during your serene stay amidst this quiet countryside retreat.

  • I felt relaxed in the lovely garden.

    The garden was lovely, and we really enjoyed our walk. It was quiet and relaxing. We stayed in the Kinko storehouse Accommodation. Although you can’t see outside from the Room, the cute sliding door that rattles as it opens added charm, and we relaxed on the blue sofa. If you have small children, the stairs may be a bit hazardous. The Room mixes old and new elements, but because the original design has been respected, there were a few unexpected protrusions.The meals were excellent—so delicious! We were very satisfied with both dinner and breakfast.Given how good the food was, we felt the price was very reasonable. We also appreciated the fireworks after dinner. Since there are hardly any lights around, the fireworks looked even more magical. It made for a wonderful summer holiday. Thank you very much.

  • I’d love to visit again in a different season.

    The stylish, delicious French dinner and the breakfast—traditional Japanese cuisine full of Yamagata’s local flavors—were both very satisfying.Both the manager and the chef were truly hospitable, and even in the quiet atmosphere we enjoyed warm interactions with people, making it a wonderful time. I also felt it would be nice to have services such as a Shuttle Service from Nagai Station.The Room was spacious, chic inside the kura storehouse, and the blend of old traditional house charm with stylish interior design made us feel truly indulged.I would love to visit again in autumn to enjoy the garden’s beautiful fall foliage.Thank you very much.
