Overview
While many Machiya buildings have lost their original appearance, our house still shows how life was in those days. Machiya architecture follows a certain format, and how each house pursued beauty within that format is quite different. Our townhouse was formerly run as an obstetrics and gynecology clinic. The combination of the main house and the clinic is very unique, and the strange harmony of the two is very beautiful.
You will get to know the Machiya architecture and enjoy Japanese tea with seasonal fruits and sweets.

What To Expect
Machiya refers to the merchant houses of the Edo period. It is characterized by its long and narrow shape, which is hard to imagine from its narrow entrance. Hida craftsmen used the best materials available at the time in the best possible form to create beautiful machiya architecture. Even after more than 200 years, the machiya is not only beautiful, but also sturdy and convenient. We hope to introduce this traditional Japanese machiya house, which is still intact, to you and invite you to enjoy a cup of tea and reminisce about life in the olden days.
