A traditional Japanese Accommodation over 150 years old, located along the approach to Asukaniimasu Shrine.

This Property, located along the approach to Asuka Niimasu Shrine within the historic site of "Asuka-dera Ruins," is a renovated accommodation featuring the structure of a "rectangular four-room local-style townhouse" built in the third year of the Meiji era (over 150 years ago).

While incorporating original fittings and antique materials from the time, the Property is equipped with modern amenities, including air conditioning systems, to ensure a comfortable stay. It offers two spacious Rooms, each with a unique atmosphere, featuring a courtyard and a large Shigaraki ware bathtub.

During your stay, we encourage you to take a closer look at the building and books, and enjoy a hands-on, engaging experience.
