Q & A
Frequently Asked Questions
Can we bring our own food and beverages?
Yes, absolutely. You are welcome to bring any food and beverages. Nearby shopping options (a few minutes by car) include Yoke Benimaru supermarket and convenience stores, making it convenient for provisions.
Is there a bathtub?
Yes, we have a renovated and well-maintained bathroom with a bathtub inside the facility. The tub is standard residential size, so please use it one person at a time for a relaxing soak. While not a hot spring, we provide comfortable hot water facilities.
Is there parking available?
Yes, we provide complimentary parking for 3 vehicles on the grounds. If you are arriving with 4 or more vehicles, additional free parking is available about a 2-minute walk (approx. 100 m) away — please contact us in advance.
What are the check-in and check-out times?
Check-in begins at 15:00 and check-out is by 10:00 the following morning. If you wish to arrange early check-in or late check-out, please contact us in advance. We will do our best to accommodate your request, though availability is subject to circumstances.
Can we leave very early in the morning, or during the night?
Yes. Check-in and check-out are self-service with a key box, and no staff stay on the property, so you may depart at any hour — an early-morning start before dawn is no problem. Please let us know your approximate departure time when you book, or by the day before. On the morning you leave, simply turn off the lights and air conditioning, lock the front door and return the key to the key box. Please leave the futons as they are.
What is the maximum number of guests?
Standard capacity is 7 guests; up to 9 guests can stay with an additional fee (adult ¥5,500 / elementary school child ¥3,300 / preschool child ¥2,200). As we offer exclusive one-group-per-night rentals, families, relatives, and friend groups can enjoy the space without reservation or concern. Bedding is provided in traditional Japanese tatami rooms using futons.
What payment methods do you accept?
Payment is made on site during your stay. We accept cash, credit cards (VISA/Master/JCB, etc.), and various digital payment methods including PayPay.
What amenities are provided? Do I need to bring pajamas?
We provide towels (bath and face towels), toothbrushes, shampoo, conditioner, body soap, and a hair dryer. We do not provide pajamas or yukata robes, so please bring comfortable, relaxing sleepwear that you are accustomed to wearing.
Is Wi-Fi available?
Yes, complimentary Wi-Fi is available throughout the entire facility. The quiet environment makes it ideal for remote work, workations, and offsite business meetings.
Can I cook in the kitchen?
Yes, absolutely. The spacious kitchen is fully equipped with a two-burner gas stove, refrigerator, microwave, rice cooker, cooking utensils (knives, cutting boards, pots, pans, etc.), and complete dishware. Feel free to bring local ingredients and enjoy cooking together with your group.
How cold does it get in winter?
As a 100-year-old traditional farmhouse, the structure is less airtight than modern homes and can get cool. We provide air conditioning and heating throughout to ensure your comfort. However, we recommend bringing warm clothing such as thick socks and layers for a cozy winter stay.
Can children stay with us?
Children are welcome to stay. Our building is a nationally registered tangible cultural property with many historically valuable elements, such as fusuma sliding doors and original fittings — we appreciate your gentle care. Please also note that the century-old wooden structure has uneven floors and steep staircases, so we kindly ask that you keep an eye on young children for their safety. We do not provide baby cribs; you can choose whether to add futon bedding for your child when making your reservation.
Is there an accommodation tax?
A Miyagi Prefecture accommodation tax of ¥300 per person per night applies (from January 2026). The tax is not included in the room rate. Depending on the room rate, some stays may be exempt from the tax.
Can I book for tomorrow or today?
Online bookings are accepted up to 2 days before the check-in date. For next-day or same-day stays, please contact us via official LINE or the inquiry form. We will check availability and whether the house can be prepared in time, and reply to you. Next-day and same-day bookings require advance payment by credit card, and your reservation is confirmed once the payment is completed.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us.
