It consists of the room with 10 tatami mats, the room with 8tatami mats, and the indoor private bath.
Japanese traditional value can be felt from the detail of designs such as window, decorative transom, lattice, and alcove post. The location of this cottage blends into the simple beauty of nature in Momijidani valley with rich water and green.

In 2018 we renovated a 69-year-old

Sukiya-zukuri style house

architectural hanare cottage.

In 1949 the room was built in the style of a tea-ceremony house (Sukiya-zukuri) The cottage room was named by Master Omotesenke soutyusai sousyu who was the master of Omotesenke tea school of Japanese Way of Tea.
In 1952 a novelist Eiji Yoshikawa worked on one of his novels “The Heike Story: A Modern Translation of the Classic Tale of Love and War” in the cottage while his staying.
The room locates the deepest and the most peaceful property area of Iwaso.
You will be impressed by pure and beautiful Momijidani creek view when you put your body in the bathtub of this magnificent room like a great novelist in the past.
