The Charm of the Ebihara Shoten Building — A century-old former tailor shop, all to yourself. ■ A 100-Year-Old Cultural Heritage Building Ebihara Shoten is a wooden building with over 100 years of history, once a beloved tailor shop serving the local community. Today, it is officially designated as a cultural property for its exceptional architecture and historical significance. From the lattice doors and vintage glass windows to the nostalgic signage, every detail tells a quiet, beautiful story of the past. ■ Unique Layout Preserving the Spirit of the Original Shop The spacious earthen-floored shopfront, the wooden shelves and display cases once used to showcase clothing, and the gently partitioned rooms in the back—all remain as they were. These carefully preserved features offer a rare opportunity to stay in a space that still echoes the lively days of the original shop. It’s not just a place to sleep—it’s a step back in time. ■ Private Stay for One Group Per Day This culturally significant building is available for exclusive rental by one group per day. Enjoy complete privacy in a setting that blends history with comfort.
