An accommodation on the small central street of this typical Japanese village

Tsuwano is a castle town nestled in a steep, unspoilt valley in the mountains of Shimane Prefecture. It is one of several cities in Japan known as "Little Kyoto". The house is located on the edge of Tonomachi shopping street, bustling with small shops during the day, full of old samurai houses, sake breweries, museums and shops, and quiet at night. Two places offer Japanese or Western breakfast within a 5-minute walk. The small town promises beautiful visits: Tsuwano river, ruins of the castle and its incredible view, hiking between the lush hills... Many festivals also take place in the town.
The owners will be happy to welcome you warmly and share with you their best addresses in the surrounding area. A stay in Adrien’s tea house is the promise of an accessible and authentic experience.
