Traditional-house rooms and the whole-building plan
The inn is made up of a main house and detached buildings in a renovated white-walled traditional house, with Japanese-style tatami rooms and Japanese-Western rooms. You can also choose a plan that reserves the whole building with its five rooms, so groups and three-generation trips can settle in without worrying about other guests. The tatami rooms are reassuring for babies at the crawling stage.

Overview
Minshuku Jinya is a family-run guesthouse in a renovated white-walled traditional house, standing near the Ichijodani Asakura Family Historic Ruins, the site of a castle town from the Warring States period. It is made up of a main house and detached buildings, and because each detached building has its own bath and toilet, families can use them freely on their own. Fireflies dance along the Ichijodani River beside the property in June, and the setting is quiet and surrounded by nature. The simple, warm home-cooked meals have earned a good reputation, and baby food can be prepared as well. With good access to Eiheiji Temple and the Dinosaur Museum, it makes a fine base for a family trip.
