How are you, everyone?

We,Ikoi-no-ie, are good.

But, There was a litte change in our hostel.

Could you guess?

Our staffs begin to wear kimono, the traditional clothes of japan. hehe

It's really good to work in kimono.

We be a !!STAR!! on the street..

(>_<)

But hopefully, we change our uniform(kimono) to yukata????

Summer is coming

and since to wear kimono formally, we should wear underwear called eri, and outwear on it, which has long sleeves.........

guesses we are gonna die,

if ms.Asada(owner) doesn' want us to change our clothes in the summer?0_0??

kidding. hehe

have a nice day

The event was hold during a whole day.
Everybody here pounded mochi to make some rice cakes all together .
Seems fun and looked so yummy...

Owner said they couldn't make it very well this time

because some rices still remained as it is in the rice cake

and hope for meking the best rice cake next time...

But I here again, missed the chance to take part in the event because I worked at the night on the day.

That's what it is...

Hello, everyone.
I am Park, one of the staff on weekends at Ikoeno-ie.
Today, we bought a huge red umbrella which will be decorated at the gate of the building in which the reception desk is located.
It was a lot of fun gathering ideas with the co-workers and the owner for making Ikoeno-ie a cozier place for everyone. The first step of it was finding the perfect position of the umbrella.
The one holding the umbrella is another weekend-staff, Sawaki (A very brilliant MBA course student at Kyoto University).
Unfortunately, you won’t be able to see him holding the umbrella when you visit us; once the position is decided, we will make a strong holder to fix the umbrella.(^^)
Come to see the umbrella, and come to see us.
We are looking forward to meet you under the Big-Red-Umbrella. :)

We moved!

Hi here's a little update from us.
We've been quite busy lately
because we just open new buildings and had to move our reception.
It's Machiya house which is known as a traditional building in Japan.
It looks pretty nice and we really like it!
We hope you stay here if you have a chance to come to Kyoto...

We look forward to meeting you anyway!
