As befits the birthplace of sake, our concept is a “SAKE HOTEL,” where you can enjoy pairings of Toyosawa Brewery’s sake with fusion cuisine made with locally sourced ingredients. Rare sakes may also be available depending on the season. To help make your trip even more fulfilling, we also provide guidance on nearby sightseeing spots. Enjoy atmospheric strolls through town and visits to Kofuku-ji Temple, Todai-ji Temple, and Nara Park—an enriching stay where you can experience culture and history and discover Nara’s hidden charms.
