Stay in Hojo at the northern foothills of Mt. Tsukuba. Experience artisan architecture wrapped in natural materials.

The Hojo district at the foot of Mount Tsukuba, known as the starting point of the "Tsukuba Road" leading to the Tsukubasan Shrine, often referred to as the "Mountain of the Gods." Just as various "people, things, and cultures" have intertwined here in the past, "Aisho" is a space where you can experience the harmony of the history of a 90-year-old townhouse and contemporary crafts, the balance of "unchanging" and "evolving," and the essence of Japanese aesthetics through air, fragrance, and visuals. As a Property accommodating only one group per day, it offers a place to connect with Japanese craftsmanship and art. Please enjoy the comfort and sense of security it provides.

Stay at the foot of Mount Tsukuba, Hojo.

A Property that brings joy to both people and the Earth, accommodating only one group per day. Located in the Hojo area at the foot of Mount Tsukuba, about a 20-minute drive from the center of Tsukuba City. This traditional wooden house, built 90 years ago, has been renovated using natural materials and opened in July 2024 with the theme of being a Property that is kind to both the body and mind, bringing joy to people and the Earth. To provide a refreshing stay, we carefully selected premium cedar planks from Ibaraki and Tokushima Prefectures and used them throughout the building. With high humidity control, the Property maintains a humidity level of 60-74% year-round. This stable humidity prevents the activation of viruses, reducing the likelihood of skin inflammation and allergies. Additionally, the relaxing effects of the cedar scent component "cedrol" help alleviate stress and promote better sleep. From building materials and paints to the fabrics of sleepwear, every detail has been designed with a focus on natural elements and quality sleep. Natural materials are used not only in the Room but also in the bath, hallways, and even in areas unseen by guests, encompassing the entire building. In other words, wherever you are within the Property, you are surrounded and embraced by natural materials. Be soothed by the air, rest assured, and fall into a deep sleep. "Ah, I slept so well." May you wake up to such a wonderful morning and have the best day ahead.

Exterior

A building that reflects the era

We have decided not to give this building a new name but to return to its original "yagō" (house name) that has been passed down since the Edo period. Using timber from the satoyama, walls made of earth and plaster, ceilings and walls thatched with local grasses, and interiors adorned with persimmon tannin, red ochre, and tung oil, we sought to converse with this historic home that has stood here for generations. What we heard was a layered memory—a desire to return to its origins. Feel the history and culture embedded in the beams and fittings of the building, and immerse yourself in a space that preserves its structure. Experience the history and stories this building has carried through time.

Interior

Craft House

In your line of sight, you will encounter a fantastical space that celebrates the charm of contemporary craftsmanship. Just like the building made with familiar materials and the skills of artisans who bring them to life, we have adorned the space with contemporary craftsmanship that embodies the essence of Japanese aesthetics. Originally, Aishou was not a historically luxurious traditional house, but rather a typical old Japanese home. Precisely because of this, it serves as a house of craftsmanship, freely proposing traditional techniques for the modern era. We invite you to a creative stay experience where the future possibilities of handcrafting come to life.
