The Lingering Fragrance

Where Incense Drifts Through Your Home

隣の寺院から漂うお香の薫りとともに。

The name Iho means "lingering fragrance" — inspired by the gentle scent of incense drifting from the adjacent temple. Set within a quiet enclave of just twelve houses, this machiya offers a rare intimacy: a place where temple bells mark the hours and soft light plays across tatami and wood.
