Miwa Station × Recommended Hotel·Ryokan

A tranquil accommodation nestled at the foot of Nishiyama Tumulus, along Japan's oldest road, "Yamanobe no Michi." With the concept of "Living with Ancient Tombs," we share the wisdom of coexisting with nature through accommodation, dining, and experiences. The accommodation and dining buildings are designed based on the ancient Chinese philosophy of "Yin-Yang and Five Elements," themed around the five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. 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.
