Introduction of the Accommodation
Iizuka Residence, a soothing Accommodation with 200 years of living history
The nationally registered Tangible Cultural Property “Iizuka Residence” is a special Accommodation where traditional Japanese architecture harmonizes with modern comfort. As you admire the tasteful décor and beautiful garden, enjoy a soothing moment and feel the breath of life from 200 years ago. With Simmons beds, spacious sofas, and an Oya-stone bath, it offers both the charm of old Japan and today’s comfort. Like an entire town functioning as one Hotel, this is a new style of Hotel where you can also enjoy connecting with local people.






In a spacious setting, you’ll find a living area with a sofa and a dining space with a fully equipped kitchen, allowing you to relax comfortably even during long stays. This Room is set within a magnificent historic building, where you can feel its heritage and unwind at an unhurried pace. From the wide entrance and wraparound corridor to the tatami room and sitting room, the space offers a subtly nostalgic atmosphere. Records show that the second floor of the new wing was once used as maids’ quarters.






A loft-style Room created by fully renovating an entire traditional storehouse. It includes a living area, bath, washroom, toilet, two semi-double beds, and a built-in desk. With a playful, secret-hideout feel, this Room is ideal for small groups and short stays. Both storehouses are traditional earthen-walled construction with an eave over the entrance. The door is visibly solid and sturdy, and the interior features impressive thick beams.




We are pleased to introduce restaurants in town. Enjoy dishes made with seasonal local ingredients such as delicious rice and vegetables, fruits like mangoes, and sweetfish (ayu) caught in the clear Naka River. Savor the natural flavor and richness of each ingredient. A renowned Western-style restaurant is located a 5-minute walk from the Hotel, famous for omelet rice, pork sauté, and hamburg steak. There are also well-known Japanese restaurants featuring local specialties such as sweetfish (ayu), handmade soba noodles, Yami-shishimaru game meat, and honmoroko. In addition, there are about 10 restaurants within a 10-minute drive, and Shuttle Service from the Hotel is available at dinner time. Guests who book a breakfast-and-dinner Plan can have their meals delivered to their Room.
