"The Kisoji Road is entirely in the mountains" - Shimazaki Toson

The Kisoji trail, nestled in the deep mountains, is a place where time flows quietly and where the wisdom of people who live in harmony with nature flows. Our hotel has also welcomed travelers, embracing the natural environment of Kiso.

Iwaya, located on the banks of the Kiso River in the heart of Kiso Fukushima, has a history spanning over 350 years since the Edo period.
As a historic inn that has once hosted members of the imperial family, literary figures, and important people from various fields, we continue to uphold the same spirit of hospitality.
Overlooking the Kiso mountain range, which changes appearance with the seasons, and listening to the murmuring of the clear stream, you can relax in a cypress bath and feast on cuisine that makes the most of the bounty of the season.
Here, you can escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and experience Kiso with all your senses.
We take pride in providing a truly relaxing experience while cherishing tradition and formality.
All of our staff look forward to your visit.

General Manager of Iwaya Inn, Kisoji
