Project Description

◆Introducing the Main House

The Main House at Miyama EISA is a traditional farmhouse that preserves the charm of old Japan while offering a comfortable stay.

Inside the Main House, there are three Tatami Rooms, separated by sliding fusuma doors. For sleeping, guests will use traditional Japanese futon bedding.

The Kitchen, Minibar, Dining Area, and Doma Space are designed as one open, connected area. The Doma Space opens directly toward the terrace, creating an airy atmosphere where you can enjoy the outdoors while staying inside.

Cooking equipment is fully provided, so we invite you to enjoy preparing meals together while sharing conversations in this open-concept space.

There is also a Drink Corner equipped with a Wine Cellar and a Draft Beer Tap. Drinks are available for an additional fee, but guests are also welcome to bring their own beverages. Please settle any charges at check-out.

Draft beer is prepared in the facility refrigerator. If you would like to enjoy it, simply install it into the server by self-service. The operation is very easy, even for first-time users.

(Draft beer: 3 liters / JPY 2,200, to be paid at check-out)
