Takehara, located along the coast of the Seto Inland Sea, flourished as one of Japan's leading salt production areas since the Edo period. By the Taisho era, it boasted 26 sake breweries thanks to its prosperity from salt. The people of that time competed to build many remarkable structures, creating a beautiful townscape that still retains its historical charm today. Known as "Little Kyoto of Aki," Takehara has been designated as a Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings by the Japanese government.Nestled seamlessly within this historic townscape is NIPPONIA Hotel Takehara Saltworks Town.
