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).

Notice from the Accommodation

  • “Asuka and Fujiwara: Archaeological Sites of Japan’s Ancient Capitals” has been inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

    “Asuka and Fujiwara: Archaeological Sites of Japan’s Ancient Capitals” was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List on July 26. After overcoming many challenges, the historical value of Asuka and Fujiwara has been recognized as a shared treasure of humanity. We extend our deepest respect to everyone involved for their years of dedication, and we sincerely celebrate this World Heritage inscription. “Asuka and Fujiwara: Archaeological Sites of Japan’s Ancient Capitals” comprises 19 sites, including palace ruins and ancient burial mounds built from the late 6th century to the early 8th century during the Asuka period. It was evaluated as a precious heritage that illustrates the formation of Japan’s first full-fledged centralized state, leading to this inscription. With this addition, Japan now has 27 World Heritage properties.
    Our property, “Blanciaera Villa Asuka,” is located in the heart of Asuka, surrounded by component sites of this World Heritage property. With convenient access to iconic places such as Ishibutai Kofun and Asukadera Temple—where you can feel the romance of Asuka’s history—you can experience even more closely what makes Asuka so special as a World Heritage destination. To mark this inscription, we warmly invite you to visit Asuka Village, where timeless history still lives on.
