“mio” is a complex facility that renovated the former Horibe family residence and has a hotel, cafe, co-working space, etc.
The Former Horibe House, built in 1848, is located in the merchant district of Mancho, the closest to Shimabara Castle’s main gate.
There is a canal with spring water on both sides of the street, making it a place where you can experience the living culture of life together.
【Hotel mio】
Taking full advantage of the “Yusui-tei,” a garden with a waterway that flows with spring water, we have prepared two guest rooms where you can feel the history of the hidden Christians of this land. The bath uses Shimabara hot spring water.
【café mio】
A cafe that makes use of the earthen floor space that opens up along the Mancho Arcade. A place for locals to casually enjoy eating and drinking, and for tourists to learn about Shimabara. We aim to be an information dissemination base that serves as the gateway to the town.
【Coworking Space Waku-work】
A coworking space that utilizes the second floor space like an attic. As an extension of cafe usage, we plan to establish a fee structure that is easy to use.
