A 125-year-old farmhouse renovated using traditional construction methods.

We accept reservations for exclusive use of the entire property, limited to one group per day.

▼About the Host
We run a grape farm and the Kamegamori Winery. We've lived in Iwate for about 20 years. Including my university years, I've spent about 25 years studying and farming in Iwate. I work in the vineyards through all four seasons and handle winemaking at the winery.
I started this inn in May 2024 hoping to introduce more people to Iwate as a wine region and share its enjoyment and charm. I would be delighted if you come to stay and feel right at home here.

Before considering a stay at Tomizuki-an...
We believe our inn differs somewhat (?) from modern lodgings. We look forward to your visit with your understanding.
The entire property is completely non-smoking.
There are no televisions or video games. We also do not provide any so-called amenities. Please bring your own.
We offer no special services. Guests are responsible for making their own futons. Sheets and linens are provided, of course.
While meals are prepared by guests themselves, please refrain from bringing natto. It is an offering to the god of brewing.
This may sound terribly restrictive when written down,
but that is not the case.
We simply wish for you to feel at home.
Please note: Any behavior deemed unacceptable by the innkeeper—such as actions violating public order and morals, or causing disturbance to neighbors—will result in immediate termination of your stay.
You can send a message directly to the host. Please click here to inquire about this facility before applying for a reservation.
