Kakunodate is lined with historic buildings such as samurai residences. Experience what life was like in a renovated storehouse.

"Wa no I Kakunodate" is a Hotel created by renovating historical storehouses scattered throughout the small Kyoto-like town of Kakunodate, famous for its samurai residences. These "preserved lifestyle storehouses," reflecting their original use, allow guests to experience life as it was in the past. Step inside and feel as though you've traveled back in time to enjoy the living scenes of that era.

  • This is a wonderful Accommodation that blends beautifully into Kakunodate’s townscape. The staff were very kind and helped us in many situations throughout our stay. Thanks to them, we had a memorable and enjoyable trip. We would love to visit again. Thank you very much.

  • This was a top-class Accommodation that perfectly matched the atmosphere of Kakunodate. It offered a blend of old and new that you can’t experience at an ordinary Hotel or Ryokan. One reason I want to visit Kakunodate again is not only the town’s charm, but also this Accommodation. Next time, I’d like to stay in a different kura-style Room.
