  • Honmachi, Tsuwano

  • 90m²
  • WIFI

The Tsuwano tea house offers an authentic stay in the Japanese countryside, just 4 minutes away from the station of this small village situated between Hiroshima and Yamaguchi.


A pleasant accommodation above a tea house


You are staying on the second floor of this tea house whose owners are best placed to share their good advice on places and restaurants to visit. The apartment has a large living room with eight tatami mats, approximately 27m2, which can be divided thanks to traditional Japanese "fusuma" doors. One of the Japanese living rooms is transformed into a bedroom with a futon using shoji panels. Everything is decorated in the classic Japanese style with tokonoma, kakejiku, engawa. Your accommodation has two bedrooms equipped with two single beds each and blackout curtains. A total of 6 people can stay at Tsuwano Tea House.
The small kitchenette includes a fridge, a small induction hob and a sink, as well as kitchen utensils including dishes and pots. Tea from the tea house located on the ground floor is also available for your personal tasting. Finally, the bathroom area offers a sink area and a shower, with toiletries available. A sotoroka, an exterior corridor decorated with reinforced rice paper panels, goes around the floor in traditional Japanese aesthetics. You can go from one room to another without necessarily having to cross the common space.
A baby set is available to travelers. It includes high chair and walker.


The ground floor has been converted into a tea room by the owners. You can taste their specialty, the "zaracha", a tea made from a plant from the region's mountains. Discounts are offered on store products. Although access is possible through two entrances, a back entrance allows travelers to have an independent access to the accommodation. You will find the washing machine there, free to use. A parking space is available outside.


An accommodation on the small central street of this typical Japanese village


Tsuwano is a castle town nestled in a steep, unspoilt valley in the mountains of Shimane Prefecture. It is one of several cities in Japan known as "Little Kyoto". The house is located on the edge of Tonomachi shopping street, bustling with small shops during the day, full of old samurai houses, sake breweries, museums and shops, and quiet at night. Two places offer Japanese or Western breakfast within a 5-minute walk. The small town promises beautiful visits: Tsuwano river, ruins of the castle and its incredible view, hiking between the lush hills... Many festivals also take place in the town.
The owners will be happy to welcome you warmly and share with you their best addresses in the surrounding area. A stay in Adrien’s tea house is the promise of an accessible and authentic experience.

The route between Kyoto and Osaka is an exceptionally dense and competitive railway corridor. Private companies Hankyu and Keihan have historically developed their lines to compete with the JR line, each offering distinct routes and services. This competition has resulted in an exceptionally efficient transportation system, with trains running at very high frequency and offering a wide variety of destinations within both cities – a characteristic emblem of Japan's railway network.

Frequently asked questions

To connect Kyoto to Osaka, several train lines are available, each offering advantages in terms of speed, cost, and stations served. The main options are the JR, Hankyu, and Keihan lines. We recommend choosing based on your departure point in Kyoto and your final destination in Osaka.

The JR Line (Japan Railways): This is the fastest and most direct line between Kyoto Station and Osaka Station (Umeda). The JR Special Rapid (Shin-kaisoku) service completes the journey in approximately 29 minutes. It is also possible to use the Shinkansen from Kyoto Station to Shin-Osaka Station (about 15 minutes), but a transfer is then required to reach central Osaka, and the cost is higher.
The Hankyu Line: This line connects Kyoto-Kawaramachi or Kyoto-Karasuma (located in the heart of Kyoto's commercial and tourist district) to Osaka-Umeda. Limited Express trains take approximately 43 minutes. The carriages are comfortable, and trains depart very frequently. This line is often preferred by those staying near Shijo Street in Kyoto and heading to northern Osaka.
The Keihan Line: This line follows the Kamo River in Kyoto, serving stops like Gion-Shijo and Sanjo, to reach Yodoyabashi or Nakanoshima in Osaka. The Limited Express journey takes approximately 50 to 60 minutes to Yodoyabashi. This is a convenient option if you are staying near Kyoto's Gion district and your destination in Osaka is towards the south or city center (with a transfer).

Costs vary depending on the line:
JR Line (Special Rapid): Approximately 580 JPY from Kyoto Station to Osaka Station.
Hankyu Line (Limited Express): Approximately 410 JPY from Kyoto-Kawaramachi to Osaka-Umeda.
Keihan Line (Limited Express): Approximately 420 JPY from Demachiyanagi (Kyoto) to Yodoyabashi (Osaka).
Shinkansen: The cost is approximately 1420 JPY (non-reserved seat) from Kyoto to Shin-Osaka. We note that for a direct journey between central Kyoto and central Osaka, the Shinkansen is rarely the most economical or practical solution due to the transfer and price.

For Umeda (North) in Osaka:
We recommend the JR Line or the Hankyu Line. The JR Line directly connects Kyoto Station to Osaka Station (which is located in the Umeda district). The Hankyu Line connects Kyoto-Kawaramachi/Karasuma directly to Osaka-Umeda. Both of these options are the most efficient for reaching northern Osaka.
For Namba (South) in Osaka:
We suggest taking the JR Line from Kyoto Station to Osaka Station, then transferring to the JR Yamatoji Line (which goes directly to Namba) or taking the Midosuji Subway Line from Umeda. Another option is to take the Keihan Line from Kyoto (for example, from Gion-Shijo) to Yodoyabashi, then take the Midosuji Subway Line to Namba. This latter option might be more direct if you start your journey near Keihan stations in Kyoto and prefer a single transfer towards southern Osaka.
