Suzaka city is not a famous touristy destination in Japan. About 150 years ago, Suzaka was a flourishing town whose chief expert was high quality silk produced locally. It exported silk to China, Europe, and many places around the world.
This house of Guest House KURA was built more than 100 years ago and was only renovated in 2012 in a way that retained the building's quaint Japanese atmosphere.

A family of silk traders actually lived here in this house, so this is an authentic Japanese dwelling unlike the Japanese style hotels(Ryokan) which were built for tourists. You can experience the real Japanese lifestyle here.
All rooms are Japanese style and feature tatami mats and traditional futon beds. The guest house's interior elements, such as shelves, stairs, sliding doors, and decor, are kept in their original state so as to retain the unique atmosphere of the Edo and Meijiperiod.
When staying in one of our comfortable and cozy rooms, you are brought in touch with traditional Japanese lifestyle.
Guest House KURA is the only budget hostel that will bring you back in time to experience the classical Japan!
This will be your home away from home.
If you are on a long journey visiting big cities like Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, or Hiroshima, and you are now looking for a place to relax, feel more local, and meet local people, you are come to the right place!
