The main building of Nanten-en was originally located in Sakai Ohama as "Shioyu Kazokuyu" and was relocated in its entirety to Amami, a place known for its natural Onsen, in 1935. It was then transformed into an Onsen Ryokan for pilgrims visiting Mount Koya. The predecessor, "Shioyu Kazokuyu," was designed by Kingo Tatsuno, a renowned architect of the Meiji and Taisho eras who contributed to many iconic modern architectural works. As one of the few remaining examples of traditional Japanese architecture, it continues to convey its historical significance.The former Koya Highway runs north to south, and the 3,000-tsubo Japanese garden, surrounded by the rich natural backdrop of the Kongō-Katsuragi mountain range, offers a picturesque setting. The garden, adorned with flowers blooming throughout the year and the chirping of wild birds echoing through the mountains, retains the timeless charm of a serene paradise.

A private, guest-only entire-home rental located on the grounds of “SAKAINOMA PLAZA Yanagi,” a renovated former Sakai bladed-tool shop built in the late Edo period, offering an exclusive space beyond the courtyard behind the main house where shops are located.

At Kii Misou, the gateway to Mount Koya, enjoy a relaxing moment surrounded by natural greenery and the scent of history.
