Overview

With a 16-tatami living room, a purely Japanese-style dining room and a spacious kitchen, 2 to 10 guests can spread out and enjoy a stay that feels like living there.

A BBQ set is also available to borrow free of charge, which makes it a popular choice for families.
Kotorimura sits in Shimofunabara, Izu, Shizuoka, at the center of the Izu Peninsula where the roads to West Izu and South Izu divide. It is a Showa-era retro Japanese house, more than 60 years old, rented out as a whole to a single group. Renovated under the concept of "build while preserving," the building has a nostalgic feel: a 16-tatami living room with antique-style furniture and reclaimed wood, a purely Japanese-style dining room and an engawa veranda. Although it stands in a residential neighborhood, it is a detached building, so a family can stay as if they were simply living there. It sleeps 2 to 10 guests, and families are the most common visitors.
Equipment for babies and children
The house is well stocked with equipment for families with babies and young children. For babies there is a baby bath, a crib, a diaper bin, a baby-bottle sterilizing case, a nursing cushion, a baby monitor and a waterproof bed-wetting sheet.

Kitchen and self-catering
The spacious kitchen has an induction cooktop, a rice cooker, a refrigerator, a microwave, a water heater, a cutting board and knife, tableware, a kettle and a range of seasonings (oil, salt, soy sauce and pepper), so you can cook just as you would at home. A supermarket and local shops are a 3-minute walk away, making it easy to pick up ingredients. Coffee beans and Shizuoka-grown tea leaves are free to use.
Baths and BBQ
The bathroom in the house is a shower room only, and there is no onsen. A day-use bathing facility, Yu-no-Kuni Kaikan, is a 5-minute walk away, and discount vouchers are issued to staying guests. You can also barbecue with an electric grill on the engawa veranda or in the adjoining space, and the BBQ set (grill, tongs, plates, table, chairs, cooler box and more) is available to borrow free of charge, though it may not be lent out in some weather.
