Guiding this experience are the 14th and 15th generation couple of the HIGASHIBABA family.

For over 400 years, as a family of Shinto priests serving Musashi Mitake Shrine, they have continued to care for and preserve this place.

Rooted in Shinto philosophy, they incorporate medicinal herbs, food, and the power of nature, guiding each guest toward a state of “just right” balance in both mind and body.

Their lineage is said to trace back to one of the Four Generals who served Takeda Shingen during the Warring States period.

Set quietly at an elevation of 816 meters on Mt. Mitake—so rich in nature it hardly feels like Tokyo—stands this thatched-roof house.

Built in the late Edo period, it is now designated as a Tangible Cultural Property of Tokyo.

It remains the family residence of HIGASHIBABA, while also welcoming guests as a shukubo.

Within this timeworn space, traces of the past still gently linger.

Your journey begins here—limited to one group per day.
