Vacation rentals in Shitara

[Manshu] This price for 2 people! An old private house in the castle town of Iwamura. How about renting and dressing in a retro kimono? (Reservation required)

This is a calm castle town where people still live today. Feel the elegance and forget your busy daily life in a room in a spacious and quiet old house. This is the location of the movie "The Father of the Galaxy Railroad", which was released in May 2023. Manshō Shōten also appears in the movie. The scene in the used bookstore in "Yakusho Koji-san" was filmed at this inn. You can walk or drive to the Iwamura Castle site. Please come and imagine what kind of battles took place here. There aren't as many tourists as in other tourist destinations, so you can enjoy the castle town life to yourself. Iwamura fans keep coming. You will be surprised by the calm and quiet after 4 pm. Walking along the main street at night, you'll see a row of lanterns that look like paper lanterns, and it's very magical. On the day of the "summer solstice", the sunset falls straight down the street, and you can see a very beautiful view. (It depends on the weather, but it's around 6:30 pm for about a week around mid-June every year) We also operate a retro kimono rental and dressing service in this building. Please make a reservation if you would like to wear a kimono. Guests staying at the property will receive a discounted price. There is also a backyard and a storehouse at the back of the building, so you might feel like a ninja (^ - ^)
