More Details
Narai-juku still retains strong remnants of that time as the longest extant post town in Japan on the Nakasendo route, which has a 400-year history. Surrounded by mountains from east to west, Narai-juku has given root to a unique history and culture. BYAKU Narai has inherited 4 distinctive historical buildings, including the former Suginomori Shuzo sake brewery building, which was founded in 1793 and has been a symbol of the town, as well as the Hoi Hoi guest house, the Misawa lacquerware shop, and the residence that served as a front to town's temple. All 16 guest rooms are unique and diverse, drawing on the structure of 4 historic buildings with different uses and floor plans. These rooms offer a special accommodation experience unique to traditional private dwellings that have been instrumental in the local culture, making them vastly different from run-of-the-mill hotel rooms. Put yourself in a space that has supported countless activities over the years and experience the innumerable stories that the building has played host to. BYAKU Narai has 6 facilities in addition to the inn. GEN is a lounge that serves as a gateway to experience a hundred local stories that enrich your journey. Restaurant KURA distills unique ingredients and the essence of regional customs into a culinary experience of the highest quality. Suginomori brewery and the TASTING BAR suginomori are places that have inherited the famous name Suginomori Shuzo ("brewery" in Japanese). Gallery HOIOI is a place where you can encounter traditional arts and crafts of the region. Finally, SAN-SEN is a bathing facility that draws fresh water from the source of the Shinano River. Enjoy unique food and relaxation that can only be experienced at Narai-juku.
