Narai-juku, with a 400-year history on the Nakasendo, remains as Japan's longest post town, preserving much of its original charm. Located at the midpoint of the 69 stations of the Nakasendo, this post town flourished with many travelers and was affectionately known as "Narai Senken." As we inherit four historical buildings as the Property BYAKU Narai, we have chosen not to give each building a new name. Instead, we decided to return to the "yago" (traditional house names) passed down from 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 historical buildings, each with different layouts and purposes. Immerse yourself in spaces that embrace the historical architecture, and experience the history and countless stories these buildings have witnessed over time. We offer a unique stay experience in these traditional houses, distinct from typical Hotel Rooms, where you can feel the essence of a place that has supported various lives and activities for generations.

"Helping our guests create unforgettable memories!" Three years ago, we made this decision. We aim to create a Property that, while imperfect, conveys heartfelt hospitality by inheriting the traditions and sentiments of our predecessors that must be preserved. Cherishing the traditions and spirit passed down through generations, we strive to provide what our guests seek through conversations and interactions, without being bound by forms or rules, and assist in creating joyful memories. We hope each guest completes their own "Kisoji Story." This is the role we believe On-Yado Tsutaya should fulfill as a Ryokan. For over 320 years since our establishment, we invite you to enjoy the unchanging, tranquil time of Kiso.
