Maruto Soy Sauce, Nara Prefecture’s oldest soy sauce brewery, has been reborn as a stayable soy sauce brewery.Founded in 1689, Maruto Soy Sauce was once purveyor to the Imperial Household—so esteemed that members of the Imperial Family even stayed here. After the war, however, the brewery was forced to close when it could no longer secure satisfactory ingredients. Now, using the microorganisms that remained in the kura since its closure, locally sourced ingredients, and brewing methods reconstructed from historical documents, the fires have been lit again for the first time in 70 years—reviving Maruto as a stayable soy sauce brewery.From traveler to brewer.Experience firsthand our revival of soy sauce making, local resources, and the timeless landscapes of Yamato—all in one place.

With the concept of "Living with Ancient Tombs," we share the wisdom of coexisting with nature through accommodation, dining, and experiences.

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.
