NIPPONIA HOTEL Takehara Saltworks Town

An Old-Townhouse Hotel Scattered Through Takehara's Preserved Townscape District

NIPPONIA HOTEL Takehara Saltworks Town is a dispersed hotel of old townhouses in Takehara's preserved townscape district, known as the "Little Kyoto of Aki," created by restoring historic Meiji-era residences. In a town that once prospered from salt making, all 10 rooms - including a wing converted from a storehouse - are scattered across the district, so you stay as though you were living in the preservation district. It is within walking distance of Takehara Station on the JR Kure Line.

Japanese-Style Rooms Restored from Meiji-Era Residences

There are no televisions or clocks, in a design that values quiet, and children can co-sleep up to age 6, so families with babies or small children can stay in these historic townhouse spaces. With guest rooms scattered through a townscape where Edo-period merchant houses still stand, it offers a stay you will not find anywhere else.

Fine Dining Built on Seto Inland Sea Salt and Soy Sauce

Dinner brings together seafood from the Seto Inland Sea and the bounty of the mountains, prepared with local salt and soy sauce as befits Takehara, a town that prospered from salt making. In the calm setting of this historic town, families can take their time over the meal together.

For Families Who Want to Savor Takehara's Townscape Quietly

This is not an inn with lively kids' facilities, and it is not barrier-free, so if you are bringing a stroller or small children, you will feel more at ease consulting the hotel in advance. It is a special place, suited to families who want to savor Takehara's historic townscape quietly.
