Tranquil lodging inside a renovated kura storehouse where history gently breathes
Nestled within the rows of historic kura (storehouses) in Kiragawa’s preservation district, Kura-Kukan Kurayado is a fully renovated traditional guesthouse housed in buildings from the Meiji to Taisho eras. This standalone accommodation includes two sections: the main house (up to 7 guests) and the annex (up to 5 guests), each equipped with Wi-Fi, private air conditioning, a kitchen, and a family-style bath—offering walking pilgrims comfort and practicality. Reviews often praise the inn’s impeccable cleanliness and tranquil atmosphere: “It’s hard to believe such a spotless place is managed by just one person,” and “It feels like stepping into another world.” This lodging promises a special night where you can fully unwind in a quietly dignified space rich in historical charm.

Guests frequently mention how “incredibly clean and well-maintained” the space is, noting that it’s “hard to believe it’s run by a single person.” The presence of original furniture and kura architecture from the Meiji era makes it “a rare and memorable experience.” Many guests describe the atmosphere as calm and timeless, adding that “even same-day reservations were accepted with flexibility.” A few noted drawbacks include needing an umbrella to move between buildings on rainy days, and an early check-out time. Still, the overwhelming impression is that of “a serene, out-of-the-ordinary stay in a beautifully preserved historic house.”
It is an old private house that can be rented as a whole old private house built in the early Taisho period. The price is a little high, but I was able to taste the extraordinary. It’s already been three years ago, but it’s still a good inn that remains in my memories. I am satisfied with the food.
★★★★★ (5 out of 5 stars)
