Oiwa Kominka
Wake Town, Okayama Pref.
This beautifully renovated kominka guesthouse is tucked away in the scenic Kibi Plateau of Okayama Prefecture, in the quiet mountain village of Oiwa, 400 meters above sea level. Surrounded by unspoiled nature and far from the bustle of the city, it offers a rare glimpse into the timeless charm of rural Japan. While the house has been thoughtfully updated with modern conveniences for a comfortable stay, it still retains its traditional character. Classic features like the Goemon bath and Kamado stove are fully functional, allowing guests to experience authentic countryside living. The property also offers easy access—just over an hour’s drive from Okayama City and the Shinkansen station.
