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): Experience the healing power of herbs in Nagahama, a treasure trove of medicinal plants
Nagahama has been known as a treasure trove of medicinal herbs since the Heian period. You can also have herb tea made with your favorite Japanese herbs, as well as aromatic water for sauna.
Experience (2): Funazushi (fermented sushi) with local sake is a must for those who love Japanese sake and fermented foods!
You can enjoy the pairing of the intangible cultural heritage Funazushi, which is said to be the origin of sushi, with Shichihonyari (The Seven Spearsmen), a locally produced sake. There are anecdotes such as it's good to eat when you catch a cold or it's less likely to cause a hangover if you eat it, so it might be good for your health too!
