MK Guide Recommends
Kozainomori, located within the Former Nishihara Residence, is a cultural landmark that captures the harmony of Itoshima’s history and hospitality. The restored Meiji-era merchant home features inviting wooden interiors, tatami rooms, and a traditional garden, providing visitors with a peaceful retreat just steps from Maebaru Station. The café offers hearty lunches and handmade Japanese sweets made with local ingredients, while the adjoining gallery hosts rotating exhibitions and workshops focused on regional crafts and architecture. Beyond dining, Kozainomori serves as a living museum of Japanese design—where community, preservation, and slow living come together under one elegant roof.
