Yoshinomiya Takitaki Sauna and Plunge Pool – Historic Kominka for Rent (Capacity: 11 people)

"A scenic spot loved by the people of Manyo" Miyataki is a small hamlet in Yoshino, a beautiful village in Manyo, which is a World Heritage Site and is said to be "Japan's best cherry blossom viewing spot". This Miyataki was once home to the Emperor's villa called "Yoshinomiya" and is also a historic place where the "Jinshin Rebellion" occurred. The Manyoshu contains many poems praising the scenic beauty of Miyataki. This area, where the clear Yoshino River flows, is known as one of the best river play spots in the Kansai area, and during the summer vacation period, it is crowded with many river play visitors. We decided to renovate a 100-year-old house where my grandparents lived for many years as craftsmen of umbrellas and lanterns in Miyataki, and revive it as "Chouchin no Yado". Taking advantage of the location "right by the river where you can play", it is an easy-to-use inn for large groups, such as multiple households or friends. We hope you will use it as a base for sightseeing, playing in the river, and BBQ in Yoshino while feeling the breath of history and nature. There is a private sauna and a water bath (Tarai) in the courtyard. If you like saunas, please come.

At our inn, you can enjoy the starry sky and the peaceful atmosphere. Located on a hill with a panoramic view of the surrounding countryside. When I open the window, There, you can see “terrace fields,” a traditional Japanese landscape. We weave poems inspired by the changing seasons. In spring, the rice terrace with water shows the blue sky and the surrounding landscape as if it were a water mirror. In the summer, the fresh green rice flying in the wind plays a cool tone. In autumn, the rice terraces, surrounded by golden rice ears, shine across the entire landscape. In winter, the bundles of straw piled up after the rice harvest create a wintertime scene characteristic of the rice terraces. While I had this stunning borrowed scenery all to myself, Enjoying conversations is also important. It is also a good idea to surrender to a comfortable silence, It's all up to you.

NISHIMURATEI Hanare – A 110-Year-Old Traditional Kominka House for Rent with Kitchen & Dining Area

Hi there,Welcome to the Nishimura Residence.This is Yuta Sugimoto, your host. The Nishimura Residence is a traditional Nara machiya (townhouse) that is over 110 years old.In 2019, I renovated “Grandma's House,” where I spent a lot of time as a child, and opened it as an inn.Since the Nara machiya has been preserved in its original state, it may cause some inconvenience, and it is not a luxurious hotel where everything is provided. 　Instead, I believe there is no better place than Nara-cho to immerse oneself in the “comfortable rustic atmosphere” that permeates the town.We provide books in the room and a vegetarian breakfast in the hope that this environment, away from the hustle and bustle of the station, will help you with “introspection and recovery.”(You can purchase almost all of the books in the room.) 　Please spend this evening listening to your own heart's voice, surrounded by the tranquility of the Nishimura residence and Nara-cho.

Castle Town Machiya Private Guest House DAIJI Consecutive night discount

I have lived in Iga Ueno for a few years. Growing up in a residential area, living in a castle town was a new experience for me. This land with its old-fashioned townscape and famous water is hot in summer and cold in winter. But that's why the rice, vegetables, and meat are also delicious. There are many areas where nature remains, but few areas where the old townscape remains intact. I want to preserve this townscape. To that end, I want many people to experience a nostalgic way of life and culture. As such a place, we renovated a row house left by our ancestors and opened it as the Daiji, a soy sauce shop that had closed. You are always welcome! Stay in a beautifully renovated traditional Japanese wooden house with tatami flooring and futons, plus modern facilities for self-catering, within easy reach of Kyoto and Osaka airports.
