STAYRooms & Suites
The three guest rooms at SUKU are thoughtfully restored from a traditional main house and kura (Japanese storehouse).
Each room is named after plants used in washi paper-making, and is gently wrapped in Echizen craftsmanship — from the walls and ceilings to the carefully selected furnishings — inviting you into a tranquil and deeply atmospheric stay.
