Concept
Sukeshichi
A traditional farmhouse stay by Itoshiro Yohinten
A wooden home that embodies the quiet presence of old Itoshiro.
A way of life made by hand — the breath of those who lived before still lingers.
On land inhabited since the Jomon era,
let your body and mind settle into its timeless embrace.
Stay
More than 200 years old — with some timbers said to date back over 300 —
Sukeshichi once stood at the entrance to the old road leading into Itoshiro.
Now offered as a private accommodation, it invites you to slow down and enjoy its tranquil spaces.
Umagoya
Earthen-Floor Space
– Clothing Gallery & Fitting Room
Just inside the entrance is a wide earthen-floored room that was once a stable.
Today, it serves as a gallery and fitting room for clothing by Itoshiro Yohinten.
Guests are welcome to try on the items throughout their stay.
Loungewear from the collection is also provided.
In summer, the open space becomes a cool, airy place to unwind.
We hope you feel the timeless grace of Sukeshichi —
a home tended with care over generations.

Uchinnaka
Main Room
– Living / Dining / Kitchen
Here, the family once gathered around the hearth to eat, talk, and make things by firelight.
The darkened walls and beams still tell the stories of those who lived before.

Use it freely as the main gathering space.

Okuno-dei
Former Alter
– Bedroom with Western-style Beds
The innermost room, once dedicated to the family’s Buddhist altar.
The former tatami has been replaced with reused wooden flooring,
creating a serene and comfortable place to rest.
Beside the beds, you’ll find symbolic works related to Itoshiro Yohinten on display.
Study
Former Children’s Room
A small desk, faded posters of childhood heroes —
traces of the children who once lived here remain.
It has been arranged as a peaceful study for reading or working.
Or simply savoring the evening light through the window.

Dinner & Breakfast
Meals are prepared in collaboration with MAGOEMON,
an Itoshiro restaurant known for wholesome dishes made from seasonal ingredients.
You may enjoy Kei-chan, a beloved local chicken dish from Gujo,
and in winter, regional specialties such as pickled meats and hot pots unique to Itoshiro.
Please choose whether you would like meals included when making your reservation.
Breakfast features onigiri made with local rice, a hearty miso soup filled with vegetables,
and small seasonal sides — a simple, grounding start to the day.
Enjoy these flavors as you look out over the idyllic scenery from Sukeshichi.
Gallery
Tsushi
Attic Gallery of Folk Tools
Everyday tools crafted by hand from local flora —
these objects tell the story of a humble yet resilient way of life.
Guests are welcome to explore freely during their stay.
The upstairs windows also offer a lovely view of the village.
Experience
Indigo dyeing, botanical dyeing, and traditional clothing workshops
Indigo dyeing classes are held from May to September,
while botanical dyeing and Itoshiro folk garment workshops are offered year-round.
Stay at Sukeshichi and immerse yourself in the unique handcraft traditions of this land.
Itoshiro Yohinten Main Store
A ten-minute walk brings you to the main store of Itoshiro Yohinten.
Here you can try on and purchase clothing,
and visit the indigo workshop and the indigo fields beside it.
(Some areas are closed from November to April.)
Historical Sites and Shrines
Itoshiro was an important pilgrimage site for the once widespread faith known as Hakusan Shinko, which venerated the sacred mountain of Hakusan.
Traces of that history remain in the local shrines and temples.
We invite you to walk among these sacred places
and feel the quiet grandeur that continues to this day.
The Joy of Each Season
Spring brings soft new green,
summer the clarity of the mountain headwaters,
autumn a blaze of red and gold,
and winter a hushed world of snow.
Each season transforms the village with a striking, quiet beauty.
We hope you will return to experience the shifting seasons of Itoshiro again.
