About

The Mikami family flourished in the castle town of Miyazu from the Edo period onwards as shipping agents, thread wholesalers and sake brewers. Their residence, the Former Mikami Family Residence, is designated a National Important Cultural Property. Our inn is the neighbouring building, reborn as a private whole-house stay that carries on the family trade name.
