Built over 80 years
Stay in an old house with traditional architectural style

“Ametsuchi” was built using the “Ishiba-date construction method”, which is a common method of building old folk houses, in which pillars are erected on top of stones. This construction method is characterised by the fact that the pillars and stones are not fixed, but are stabilised by the weight of the building.

Old folk houses built using the “Ishiba-date construction method” using structural materials such as pillars, beams, and mud walls are called “flexible structures”.
When an earthquake occurs, the building itself shakes, dissipating the earthquake's energy, and has a seismic isolation structure that prevents it from collapsing.

For the restoration of this building, we were indebted to the craftsmen of Shimizu-Kenchiku, who are well-versed in the restoration of old folk houses in the area.
We inspected each pillar one by one and jacked them up to correct their inclinations, making use of the original materials while reinforcing them.

Ametsuchi still has the characteristic rooms and spaces of traditional old houses that are rarely seen in modern homes, such as the doma(earth floor), irori ( Japanese hearth), tokonoma(An Alcove in a Japanese style room), and engawa(Japanese style sunroom).

When you stay here, please take a look at these traditional Japanese architectural styles and use them to get a feel for the wisdom, ingenuity, aesthetic sense, and flow of time that people lived in the past.

Entrance (earth floor)

The earth floor which is called doma is located indoors, but you can put on your shoes and use it like you would outside. It is a space filled with the wisdom of ancient people that can be used for water work and maintenance of agricultural tools.
Irori-kichen

In the past, irori hearth were placed in rooms where families and guests gathered, and were used for cooking, eating, and keeping warm. You can actually use it by putting charcoal in it.
(*Cooking that produces oil is not possible.)

The living room has a veranda, a relaxing space that connects to the outside. It's also nice to take a nap while staying under the sun.
Part of the room can be used as a guest room with a partition.
