We study few-boson tunneling in a one-dimensional double well with a spatially modulated interaction. The dynamics changes from Rabi oscillations in the non-interacting case to a highly suppressed tunneling for intermediate coupling strengths followed by a revival near the fermionization limit. The dynamics is explained on the basis of the few-body spectrum and stationary eigenstates. For higher number of particles, N≥ 3 it is shown that the inhomogeneity of interaction can be tuned to generate tunneling resonances. Finally a tilted double-well and its interplay with the interaction asymmetry is discussed.
