Irori – Old Japan, Just Minutes from Shibuya

An irori is more than just a traditional Japanese hearth.

For many Japanese people, it evokes a deep sense of nostalgia—a quiet memory of rural life, grandparents’ homes, and peaceful evenings.
Even for those who have never lived with one, an irori can stir a kind of longing—something we somehow remember, even if we’ve only seen it in stories.

Often seen in old folk tales and animated films, the irori is where people gather, share food, and tell stories by the gentle glow of the fire.

It’s a symbol of warmth—both physical and emotional—and a connection to a slower, more family-centered time.

And yes—our place has a real irori.
It’s right here in the city, just a 4-minute train ride from Shibuya.
A hidden touch of old Japan in the heart of modern Tokyo.
It’s not something you see every day—come take a look and feel the warmth for yourself.
