Inami Kokori-an Annex Zuiun

A two-day stay that felt like stepping into another world The stylish furnishings in each Room and the thoughtful attention to every little detail were exceptional. The birds and insects singing in the garden, the soothing sound of water in the open-air bath, and above all, the chef’s warm personality and outstanding cuisine were truly superb. This is a wonderful auberge I would absolutely love to return to, and one I can wholeheartedly recommend to anyone.

We stayed here as a family. Inami is known as a mecca for traditional woodcarving artisans, and this Accommodation—renovated from an old kimono shop—perfectly matches the unique atmosphere of the town. Only one group per day. As others have commented, the Room, garden, and bath were all truly impeccable. What stood out most was the chef, who also served as our concierge. He was incredibly knowledgeable and taught us so much about the ingredients, the town’s history, and more. I was deeply moved by how learning about the cuisine and ingredients while dining made the meal even more extraordinary—it reminded me that food is also an encounter in itself. Thank you very much. Hearing about their experience after the Noto earthquake was heartbreaking, but we could also feel how people in Hokuriku are moving forward with determination. We would love to stay again.
