BYAKU Narai

With a history spanning 400 years, Narai-juku retains the rich atmosphere of its past as Japan's longest post town. Located at the midpoint of the Nakasendo's 69 stations, this post town flourished with many travelers and was affectionately known as "Narai Senken." As we inherit four historic buildings as the Property of BYAKU Narai, we have chosen not to give them new names. Instead, we have decided to return to the "yago" (traditional house names) passed down since the Edo period, such as calling the sake brewery "Suginomori Shuzo," established in 1793 and a symbol of the town, "Toshiyoshiya." The 16 Rooms are unique and diverse, utilizing the structures of the four historic buildings, each with different layouts and purposes. Immerse yourself in spaces that embrace the architecture of these historic buildings, and experience the history and countless stories they have witnessed over the years.

BYAKU Narai, consisting of four buildings: Saikichiya, Ueharaya, Shimagoya, and Kaneueya, features not only accommodations but also five unique Facilities. The restaurant "Kura," offering the pinnacle of culinary experiences infused with local ingredients and traditions, The brewery "Suginomori Brewery," inheriting the name of the former "Suginomori Shuzo," The "TASTING BAR suginomori," serving as a gateway to experiencing the local culture of Narai, The gallery "Gallery hoihoi," where you can explore traditional crafts such as magewappa, And "SAN-SEN," a mountain spring experience sourced from the headwaters of the Shinano River, distinct from an Onsen.
