NIPPONIA is a luxury hotel brand of renovated old and precious Japanese architectures remaining throughout various areas in Japan. Respecting its historical significance, each architecture is revitalized as a facility where you can feel the lifestyle, culture and history of the land.
Especially , Sasayama Castle Town Hotel NIPPONIA was opened in the fall of 2015 as NIPPONIA brand's flagship.
Since Sasayama is a town that has been prospered as an essential point of transport from Kyoto since ancient times, a strong influence of Kyoto has been reflected in its townscape and culture.
The unified landscape was registered as one of the most important townscapes of Japan, and it is also certified as "the 100 beautiful Japanese historical towns".
Stroll thoughout the town and visiting local shops and cafes is an extraordinary experience that you can only have here.
As well as the townscape, you can experience lots of local culture like dancing in Decansho festival in summer, or making "Tanba yaki", the local traditional pottery.
The sound of birds, the darkness and silence of the night, the comfortable wind that shakes the trees etc. We tend to forget those things being busy in the usual life in city.
Staying in the way people were living in the past without TV nor bright lights, NIPPONIA reminds you the important quality of life that were forgotten.
