Old Japanese House Guesthouse Namakemono

【concept】
This guesthouse, which opened in 2012, was the first of its kind in Fukui Prefecture and is a renovated old farmhouse.

It's okay to go "slowly," like a sloth.

A life without clocks or television, a life of doing nothing.

Here you'll find the kind of stress-free life that modern people often forget.

Our accommodations include private Japanese-style rooms for 2 or 3 guests, a bunk bed room that sleeps up to 4, and a mixed dormitory with 7 beds.

Immerse yourself in the tranquil, nostalgic ambiance that can only be found in a traditional Japanese kominka (old folk house).

Why is our panini breakfast so popular? Here's the secret:

  • The Bread: We use rice flour from local Fukui Prefecture. This creates a panino that's perfectly crisp on the outside with a satisfyingly chewy interior.

  • The Fillings: Our pancetta (bacon) and ham are made in-house. We carefully age them for two weeks before slowly smoking them to perfection. This process unlocks a depth of flavor and aroma you won't find anywhere else.

■Mr. T

"It was a relaxing accommodation where my inner sloth awakened(?), and time flowed slowly. 
The space, furnishings, and the owner's expression and sense were all fantastic!"

■Ms. K

"The best! I want to stay here again! 
The breakfast was delicious, and the accommodation plan was adjusted to fit the occupancy situation. 
It was great to have not only a power outlet but also a USB port in the room. The manager is also a very warm and kind person who made us feel comfortable, and I would love to stay here again if I have another chance."

「Amazing Location, Great Host, Delicious Breakfast

- Location was great; close to a cool shrine and about a 5 minute drive from the parking lot for the castle in the sky sunrise hike - Owner was incredible! He sat down with us for the check out process and then asked for our plans and made suggestions according to our interests. He helped us look up the weather for our hike, gave us lots of dinner recommendations, as well as pamphlets for local stuff. - He has a QR code on the local area map printout that opens up to a digital version with restaurants and interesting places. Thought that was very cool - It’s a cafe during the day, and you can buy delicious tarts! - Breakfast was delicious. Seriously, haven’t had such a yummy breakfast from a hotel in a long time. For the price it was worth it and then some. - Futons were comfortable and the room was nice, just a little tight! - Free parking on site」

Customer Feedback

Kenji-sama / A hotel that isn't lazy

It's Japanese in style, fashionable, beautiful, and full of playfulness.

The breakfast is also delicious.

Mr. Tobari / As the name "Sloth" suggests, this is a wonderful inn where you can relax.

The panini set and coffee for breakfast were absolutely delicious!

Stylish jazz music plays in the old house, and you can relax in the tatami room or on the sofas in the lounge.

I was given earplugs as a complimentary service upon check-in.

Ms. Ito / Staying with my 6-year-old son

I stayed there with my 6-year-old son.

When I expressed my concern about potentially disturbing others with noise, they kindly prepared a separate room for me.

Breakfast was delicious.

Kodani-sama / That sounds like a great deal for a trip.

The breakfast was delicious; I think it's definitely worth trying at least once!

The location is very quiet, so you can relax, and there's a public bath and a convenience store about a 5-minute drive away, which is very convenient.

Guat Thamkodani / Recommended.

I like it in general, very comfy and quality place.

Almchan

House was very photogenic. Nice tables.

Yuki-sama / Self-care in nature

The breakfast is delicious.

The owner has a great personality.

I like the spaces created by Japanese architecture that make the most of wood.
