Activity
Enjoy a relaxing stay in a 200-year-old machiya
Stay in a comfortable hotel that has renovated a machiya (traditional Japanese building) that is over 200 years old. Experience the soothing aroma of Japanese herbs and tea in the self löyly sauna, as well as the carefully selected bedding from a long-established bedding store. Relax your body and mind in this tranquil setting, prioritizing relaxation.
Nagahama's Attraction (1): Port town on Lake Biwa
The largest lake in Japan, Lake Biwa, has long been known as a key trading hub and a treasure trove of natural blessings. You can also enjoy a cruise to the uninhabited island of Chikubu Island, a breathtaking spot selected as one of "Japan's Top 100 Sunset Spots," within walking distance.
Nagahama's Attraction (2): Nostalgic castle town
Nagahama's value as a merchant city is underscored by its long-standing shops and well-preserved 200-year-old machiya houses. Its retro townscape sets it apart. Unlike the bustling crowds of Kyoto and Osaka, Nagahama provides a more relaxed atmosphere, allowing tourists to leisurely explore and enjoy sightseeing at their own pace.
Experience (1): Special hospitality provided by the young master and proprietress of a long-established establishment
Matcha (powdered green tea) and wagashi (Japanese confectionery) are now familiar and easy to enjoy, but in the past, they were all condensed into a culture of entertaining important guests, from the spirit of Zen to the deliciousness of matcha itself, to the spirit of enjoying the space, setting, and seasons. You will experience this not as a standard tourist attraction, but as the hospitality of a young master.
Experience (2): A hidden key that only the young master and proprietress of a long-established establishment has access to
The entire Nagahama area is the stomping ground of the young master and proprietress. They will show you special areas like izakaya (Japanese-style pubs) that the locals only know about.
