Stay at the foot of an ancient burial mound. A journey through the five elements that awakens all five senses.

A tranquil accommodation nestled at the foot of Nishiyama Tumulus, along Japan's oldest road, "Yamanobe no Michi." With the concept of "Living with Ancient Tombs," we share the wisdom of coexisting with nature through accommodation, dining, and experiences. The accommodation and dining buildings are designed based on the ancient Chinese philosophy of "Yin-Yang and Five Elements," themed around the five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. Immerse yourself in a journey that engages all your senses as you experience nature's cycles through this philosophy and feel the flow of time connecting ancient Nara to modern life. Enjoy a moment to return to your origins in this serene place where past and present quietly converge. A portion of your stay fee contributes to maintaining tumuli and their surrounding environment.

  • I visited on a scorching midsummer day, and the Room—created by renovating a mandarin farmer’s home and barn—was incredibly cozy. You can also climb the ancient burial mound next to the Room; from there you get a panoramic view over Nara, and with no one around (except for the frogs in the pond), it was wonderfully quiet. I was able to fully enjoy a beautiful sunset. It was a fantastic space to take in Nara’s scenery from afar. The bath was spacious and comfortable, and the meals were unbelievably delicious and healthy. I’d love to stay again in autumn or spring!

  • I had long wanted to walk the Yamanobe-no-Michi trail, and I chose this Accommodation along the route because I was drawn to its medicinal cuisine.As a result, I felt wonderfully healed both physically and mentally!I gave one less star for the meals because breakfast felt a little lacking.Each item in the Room was lovely, and I also liked how each Room is designed around a small garden. I’ll never forget opening the door in the morning and being enveloped in the wonderful scent of herbs and greenery.If I have another chance, I’d love to visit again.
