“Toutou: Second-Floor Accommodation” is a space where you notice the light through its shadows. Soft textures and drowsy, gentle light. White surfaces that change their expression as time passes. From the small balcony, enjoy the ever-changing sky and breeze, along with the vibrant life of the Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter. Surrender to the quiet moments just beyond everyday life, and relax to your heart’s content.

“Toto Achi-no-Sho Kura no Yado” is a private rental Accommodation renovated from a traditional storehouse that was relocated to this site around 1897. Enjoy a relaxing stay surrounded by the town’s history and the storehouse’s white plaster walls.

Toto Japanese Folk Toy Museum Kura no Yado is a private rental Accommodation created by renovating a rice storehouse on the banks of the Kurashiki River, said to be the oldest among the museum’s group of buildings. From the windows facing the river, you can enjoy views of the water and townscape, with Mukoyama in the distance. The Japanese Folk Toy Museum is a privately run museum specializing in folk toys, collecting and exhibiting traditional toys made across Japan from the Edo period through the early Showa era. This kura also marks where it all began: in 1967 (Showa 42), when the museum opened at the recommendation of Yoshinosuke Tonomura, first director of the Kurashiki Folkcraft Museum, it served as its very first exhibition room. We hope you will enjoy a relaxing stay while feeling the prayers and wishes embodied in these folk toys, along with each region’s history and culture.

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.
