Enjoy exclusive use of a 170-year-old historic residence, certified as Shimoda Town Heritage No. 1, for one group only. The dignified building features traditional namako walls and preserves master craftsmanship that is difficult to recreate today—round windows, kumiko latticework, transoms, and gently wavering antique glass throughout. In the early Showa period, an annex was added to welcome leading figures from politics and business, and it still retains the atmosphere of a refined guest space. Soak in the free-flowing Onsen fed directly from the source and spend unhurried time gazing out at the garden. Rather than simply staying at an Accommodation, you can experience what it feels like to inherit a historic residence all to yourselves. Discover Shimoda’s history and architectural beauty—something you won’t find at a Hotel or Ryokan.

With nature’s sounds as your background music, lose yourself in reading or a light doze—luxury found in quiet. Leave everyday life behind and enjoy a peaceful stay as mind and body gently unwind.
