KOYA Mimitsu — Stay in the History of Mimitsu
Step Back 150 Years and Stay in Japan as It Once Was
Mimitsu, Hyuga City, Miyazaki, Japan.
Once a thriving port town, Mimitsu is a historic town where the streetscape of the Edo period has been carefully preserved and passed down through generations.
KOYA Mimitsu is an exclusive private stay, welcoming just one group per day in a beautifully restored 150-year-old traditional Japanese house in the heart of Mimitsu’s historic district.
The scent of tatami, the warmth of wood, and quiet walks through the historic town.
We offer a unique stay that allows you to experience Japanese culture and everyday life in a way you simply cannot experience at a hotel.
Time Spent in Mimitsu, a Historic Port Town
Mimitsu is a historic town known as the place where Emperor Jimmu is said to have set sail on his journey to establish Japan.
Traditions, festivals, cultural practices, and customs associated with the legendary departure—including the Oshunede Dango sweets and the Okiyo Festival—are still carefully preserved and passed down today.
Mimitsu’s historic streetscape is designated as a National Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings, preserving the character of an Edo-period port town facing a river estuary—an uncommon setting in Japan.
Even a leisurely walk through the town from KOYA Mimitsu offers a glimpse of Japan as it once was.
