Kominka IWANA
Nestled deep in the mountain, Iwana is an antique Japanese house built using a traditional architectural method without using nails over 270 years ago. We have renovated this house into a simple and cozy guest house to welcome people from around the world.
Iwana also serves as a caretaker of the Fire of Iwana that has been kept burning for over 300 years in the local village. Deep in the nature far away from the hustle-bustle of busy urban life, you can immerse yourself in the warm and comforting glow of the fire, which is used to light the lamps and the open hearth of the guest house.
Iwana hosts one group per day. Fully furnished with renovated kitchen and appliances, you can bring your own ingredients, cook your favorite foods and enjoy them sitting around the warm open hearth. Mountain and sea delicacies of Noto are also available upon request. The guest house’s host will help you cook the ingredients in the open hearth fire.
The charming antique house is all yours during your stay. A perfect place to experience the good old day Satoyama life with your family and friends, Iwana will surely offer one of the most unforgettable memories of your trip.

A warehouse-turned-café, Bumbuku Chagama offers panoramic view of Satoyama and relaxing time.

Ever-burning Fire of Iwana
and the Noto spirit
In old days when it was not as easy to make a fire as it is now, hearth fire was an indispensable part of life. In the village of Iwana, there is a fire that has been kept burning for over 300 years by the villagers who affectionately call it ‘Hisama’. Now, it is guest house Iwana that has taken on the role of preserving the tradition and attending to the fire that’s burning in the lamps and hearth of the house.
