Townhouse in Iga

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. Attachment: Area

The exterior of a traditional two-story Japanese house is visible, framed by lush greenery. Light wood and dark paneling create a contrast against the clear blue sky. The entrance features a covered area with a gentle roof, leading to a serene courtyard area.

NISHIMURA-TEI Hanare - Kitchen & Dining

Nishimura Residence is an old-fashioned Nara-machiya that has been standing on a piece of Nara-machi for more than 100 years. I was a “grandmother” for a long time when I was a child. In Nara Town, there is a pleasant despicable feeling that never changes. "I want to be filled with this pleasant contempt even for future generations." With that in mind, I took care of the empty Nishimura Residence. - Nishimura-Tei is originally a traditional Japanese house which has been here in Nara-machi town over 100 years, where my grandmother used to live in. My mother and I decided to renovate this house to preserve and pass down the virtue of good old days in Japan to the next generation as well as to show it to you.

A traditional room features a large wooden irori at its center, surrounded by tatami flooring. Expansive windows reveal a vibrant display of autumn foliage, creating a connection to the natural surroundings while allowing ample natural light to fill the space.

I had a great stay at a great place. The BBQ facility was right next to the building, and it was easy to get around and very comfortable to use.The room was spacious and clean, and the bath was also very clean, so I was able to relax from the bottom of my heart. There is also a cute children's room perfect for children from 0 years old to lower elementary school age, with lots of stuffed animals and toys, so the children had a safe and enjoyable stay. The garden was also large, and the children had an environment where they could run around and play to their hearts' content, and we had a relaxing time in nature.I was able to fully enjoy the richness of nature, hearing the croaking of frogs at night, seeing the stars spreading across the sky, and waking up with the chirping of birds in the morning. We were also able to set off fireworks at night. In addition, the nearby hot spring facility was also very nice, and it was one of the highlights of my stay. It was a great place to stay and I'd love to stay again. The host was also very timely in responding to various things, so thank you very much.

TanyaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Really enjoyed this place and I would strongly consider it if you’re visiting Nara. The house is very spacious and has ample supplies for daily things. The only thing is that the place is a bit of a walk to the main stations. It’s close to the Kyobate station but the train that runs in that direction is quite rare. So, if you have any mobility difficulties, I might pass on this one. But if you’re good to walk, it was overall quite convenient and very much worth the price.

A serene Japanese-style room features tatami flooring and a large window adorned with decorative items. Natural light enters through the window, highlighting a view of greenery outside. A traditional shoji screen offers a soft backdrop against the concrete wall, creating a calming space.

It is my second monthly stay at this place. It's clean, bright, and sunny in the room in the morning. They also allowed me to use a bicycle for free. I've booked another Masako's place for a monthly stay. The place is perfect for solo travelers, and the neighborhood is peaceful. An outlet mall with Costco next to it is 15 minutes away by taxi. I went there several times to eat and shop. Many tourists go there from the city because the mall has a direct shuttle that takes about 30 minutes.
