Farmhouse Inn Ikarashi “Honke” Book your trip
Spend a relaxing time at a 200-year-old kominka.

Follow a path from the road and pass through a field where you will find Ikarashi “Honke.”
The view from the inn, which stands on a hill a short climb up some stone steps, is of a majestic mountain range. The Iide Mountains span across Yamagata, Niigata, and Fukushima Prefectures.
Enjoy a peaceful and relaxing time at the inn with the okami-san (hostess), watching the mountains change with the seasons, from fresh green in the spring to autumn colors in the fall.
