Stay Experience Blending Travel and Daily Life in Arifuku Onsen
Located in the Arifuku Onsen County of Gotsu City, Shimane, this private rental lodging accommodates one group per day in a thoughtfully renovated historic traditional house. Centered on the themes of "learning" and "preservation," the property offers opportunities to encounter new experiences and to appreciate craftsmanship. The lodging takes its name, "Anon," from the idea of the brightness and warmth provided by fire, an essential part of daily life. As a private rental property, it offers a personalized stay suited to a variety of purposes, including sightseeing, anniversaries, and workations, while providing a comfortable setting for groups and families to spend time together.

Guest Room

Discover Traditional Living with Hearths, Stoves, and Fireplaces

In an age when opportunities to interact with fire have become increasingly rare, this lodging offers a chance to rediscover its importance. A traditional Goemon-style bath heated with firewood, along with an irori hearth, kamado stove, and fireplace, creates a setting where experiences begin with building a fire. Staff members are available to provide guidance on lighting the fire.

Primary Bedroom Designed for Quiet, Restful Sleep

Thoughtful attention has been given to both the space and bedding to support a restful night’s sleep. The spacious king-size bed allows parents and children to sleep together comfortably, while soft feather duvets provide a cozy place to unwind after a day of travel. A good night’s rest makes for a refreshing start to the morning.

Doma Kitchen Centered Around the Warmth of Fire

The furniture throughout the lodging is custom-made by the company. The table in the doma area features a built-in irori hearth, creating a setting where time can be spent gathered together while experiencing the traditional use of suspended cooking hooks over the fire. Surrounded by the warmth of fire and the natural character of wood, the space reflects a living connection to traditional craftsmanship and design.

"Living Room" That Connects Culture and Daily Work

The room is furnished with a sofa and desk, creating an environment well-suited to workations, while fusuma sliding doors are adorned with calligraphy created by the staff. Single futons are also available and can be laid out when accommodating larger groups. Building blocks and picture books are also provided, offering a space for children to play.

Traditional Tools and Modern Appliances in the Kitchen

Appliances and tableware range from modern essentials to traditional items, offering opportunities to experience local culture and craftsmanship through everyday use. In addition to cookware such as frying pans and rice cookers, the kitchen is equipped with Nambu ironware and tableware crafted by artisans from Shimane Prefecture. These conveniences allow meals to be prepared comfortably, even for those unfamiliar with building a fire.

Cuisine

Hands-On Cooking With a Kamado Stove and Irori Hearth

Guests can enjoy experiences that are rarely part of everyday life, such as cooking rice over a wood fire or preparing meals at an irori hearth. Traditional tools that were in the house before its renovation are still used, contributing to the preparation of exceptionally flavorful rice. Interacting with these unfamiliar implements also offers opportunities for new discoveries and a deeper appreciation of traditional ways of living.

Onigiri and Miso Soup Breakfast Showcasing Shimane Flavors

Breakfast is served at the sister property "Roi no Hako," reached by a short walk from the lodging. Guests can take their time enjoying miso soup, rice balls, and small side dishes, all prepared to highlight the flavors of local Shimane ingredients and seasonal produce. The tableware also reflects the region's character.

Facility

Goemon Bath Offering a Rare Escape from Daily Life

Guests can heat the bath themselves while enjoying the sound and aroma of burning firewood. The warmth created by a wood-fired bath offers a different experience from electricity or gas, adding a distinctive element to the stay. The bath area is filled with the fragrance of hinoki, Japanese cypress, and features amenities for a comfortable bathing experience.

Learning Journey Engaging All Five Senses Through Culture

Created with the hope of incorporating the joy of "reading" into daily life, the space is surrounded by Izumo latticework and approximately 100 books. Soft light filtering through the shoji screens adds to the inviting atmosphere. The connected rooms offer a calm setting for spending time with a good book.

"Nursery School Stay" for Living Like a Local in a Hot Spring Town

For those wishing to fully experience the unique culture, learning opportunities, and community of Arifuku Onsen, longer stays of one to two weeks offer the chance to settle in and live like a local with family. While children attend daycare, they can spend time exploring the area and taking part in experiences distinctive to the region.

Location

Public Bath Hopping and Kagura in Historic Arifuku Onsen

For more than 1,300 years, Arifuku Onsen has continued to flow and remains deeply rooted in the local community. A stay in the area provides access to the historic public bathhouses "Gozen-yu," "Satsuki-yu," and "Yayoi-yu," all fed by the hot spring source that dates back to the Asuka period. Traditional kagura performances, a form of sacred Shinto dance and music, are held every Saturday, adding a cultural dimension to an extended stay and exploration of the surrounding area.
