Otowacho Station × Zen-Inspired AccommodationRecommended Hotel·Ryokan

A satoyama path where master artisans keep traditional crafts alive. In a quintessential Japanese landscape that still retains the atmosphere of the former Mariko post town on the old Tokaido, you will find the craft Accommodation “Waraku.” This restored traditional house offers a warmth and nostalgia that only time can create, in harmony with handcrafted works by skilled artisans. Morning sunlight pours over the satoyama, accompanied by birdsong. On moonlit nights, gaze up at the sky; on rainy nights, listen to the sound soaking into the earth. Feel beauty as beauty. Surrender to comfort and sense time flowing quietly. And enjoy heartfelt conversations with loved ones and friends. In this calming Japanese-style space, please savor a special stay for anniversaries, creating memories, and a journey of self-renewal in search of beauty. We offer five annex Rooms (Wa, Raku, Doma, Kura, Fuji), each equipped with a private sauna and hinoki bath, as well as three Rooms (Ichihime, Ichiro, Ichie) in the front building where Waraku’s reception and OCHA SPA are located. Each Room is thoughtfully arranged to honor its own character and charm so you can relax in comfort. Please take your time and unwind.
