About this property
Kurashiki DEN - Modern House - Bikan Chiku
Our modern house offers two bedrooms with western style bedding and wood floors. There is also a sofa-bed available in each room however, there will be an additional fee needed for bedding and lining.
The space includes a full kitchen and dining-room which can comfortably seat all members of the group. There is also an outdoor sun-deck/porch.
Also including a full shower room with bath (western amenities) and use of a washing machine.
Kurashiki DEN is comprised of two restored adjoined houses; an older, historic side that is traditionally decorated and a newer contemporary modern house that is decorated accordingly.
Each of these sides is available individually or the entire property can be rented. If rented individually, the two sides are secured and separated by a locking door and each has their own front entrance from the street securing the privacy of each side as well as their own set of amenities such as baths and kitchen.
We are unique in Kurashiki because we are one of very few entire house rentals you will find in the Bikan Historic District. This space is ideally suited for families and small groups.

About the host
Hosted by Honoka Kawazoe
My home town is about 30 min from Kurashiki. Being an artist, I have always loved Kurashiki because it is a place of very artistic people and rich history.
When my husband and I had the chance to buy this house, we thought it was a once in a lifetime chance. It was in poor condition and was in danger of being replaced with an apartment building.
We are lucky to have friends who specialize in historic restorations of houses like ours and even luckier that they were willing to help us restore this old house.
I am so happy to be a part of Kurashiki and be able to share a slice of historic Kurashiki and Japan to everyone who visits.
I hope you can have the same feelings when walking through the streets of the Bikan Area and imagine life as it was long ago.
Here in Kurashiki, you can visit Japans 1st museum, visit ancient shrines and temples, visit the parks and sit under cherry blossom trees in full bloom and experience Japanese cuisine at its finest.
We love traveling and have been to many destinations in Asia and Europe. We are always looking for a place like Kurashiki DEN. Where we can really get a true feeling for the places we’re visiting.
We look forward to your stay.
