Tsuchiyatei

Enjoy Kurashiki from a local, lived-in perspective—an inviting “community guest room” that feels both nostalgic and new.

Tsuchiya-tei: A nostalgic yet modern machiya accommodation where you can experience “everyday Kurashiki,” the way local townspeople lived and carried on life in the Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter. Tsuchiya-tei once supported local healthcare as the Tsuchiya Internal Medicine Clinic during the Meiji period. The former clinic space now serves as reception for Tsuchiya-tei and as the shop for Miyake Shoten Café & Workshop. The property stretches 45 meters from south to north, from the main house to the storehouse, and accommodates up to three groups per day—each with its own private entrance. There are three Rooms, each connected to Kurashiki’s townscape: “Honmachi Street Accommodation” (2–4 guests) facing Honmachi-dori, a former old highway; “Alley Accommodation” (2–4 guests) located at the end of one of Kurashiki’s most iconic alleys; and “Storehouse Accommodation” (2 guests) overlooking the riverside of the Kurashiki River that runs through the Bikan Historical Quarter. For special occasions such as three-generation anniversaries or reunions with old friends, you can reserve either an entire main house or all buildings exclusively for up to 10 guests.
