The Shoya Mansion of the former Himeji Domain, which looks like the back room of Himeji Castle, is located in Fukusaki, north of Himeji, famous for the legend of yokai. This 400-year-old mansion is said to have been built in 1601, and eight years older than Himeji Castle, is also the birthplace of Kokuni Tetsujuro, a local hero who once helped farmers in the Harita Rebellion. It is also a building that contributed to regional medical care from the Meiji era to the Showa era, and there are exhibits that remind you of the past, such as old medical books, signboards, and house call bags from that time. The spacious and private space, which has been renovated to preserve the old pillars and beams of the Edo period, has introduced the latest equipment, and fused with modern comforts, and is furnished with chairs, chests of drawers, and other furniture that we had in our house, a semi-open-air cypress bath, sunlight shining through shoji screens, and a calm Japan garden. In the garden in the common area, guests can also enjoy BBQ. * The space where you can feel the history of 400 years ago is enough to see the huge beams in the store of "Seasonal Tamatebox Amami" next to the accommodation. There is also an exhibition of rickshaws that were used for house calls. In addition, you can enjoy cultural experiences such as tea ceremony, ikebana, kimono dressing, yoga, flower arrangement, aroma massage, foot massage, and even earthen wall restoration.
