(Maximum 11 people) Sauna and plunge pool in a traditional kominka house | 1-minute walk from the Yoshino-Miyataki River Exchange Centre (BBQ possible)

"A scenic place loved by the people of Manyo" Miyataki is a small hamlet in Yoshino, the beautiful home of Manyō, a World Heritage Site and said to be "Japan's top cherry blossom viewing spot". Miyataki was once home to the Emperor's secondary residence, "Yoshinomiya", and is also a place steeped in history where the "Jinshin Rebellion" took place. 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 region, and during the summer holidays, it is crowded with many visitors who come to play in the river. We decided to renovate a 100-year-old traditional house in Miyataki, where my grandparents lived for many years as umbrella and lantern craftsmen, and revive it as "Chouchin no Yado". Taking advantage of its location "right by the river where you can play", this is an inn that is easy to use even for large groups such as multiple households or friends. We hope you will use it as a base for sightseeing in Yoshino, enjoying the river, and having a BBQ, while feeling the breath of history and nature. There is a private sauna and a water bath (tarai) in the courtyard. If you love saunas, please come and visit.

NISHIMURATEI Hanare ― A historic kominka house built 110 years ago, available for rent with kitchen and dining area

Hi there,Welcome to the Nishimura Residence.I’m Yuta Sugimoto, the host. The Nishimura Residence is a traditional Nara machiya townhouse 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.As the Nara machiya has been preserved in its original state, it has many inconveniences and is not a luxurious hotel where everything is provided. 　Instead, I believe there is no better place than Naramachi to soak up the ‘comfortable rusticity’ that permeates the town.In the hope of helping guests ‘reflect and recover’ in an environment away from the hustle and bustle of the station area, we provide books in the room and a vegetarian breakfast.(Almost all of the books in the room are available for purchase.) 　Please spend this evening in the tranquil surroundings of the Nishimura residence and Naramachi, listening to the voice of your own heart.
