Residential-style hospitality,
"scattered hotel" NIPPONIA HOTEL TAKEHARA SALTWORKS TOWN.
The Takehara Townscape Conservation Area, a designated Groups of Important
Traditional Buildings, is only a 10 minute walk from JR Takehara Station. Historical landmarks were rebuilt
into a hotel, leaving the facade in tact, and was repurposed into a new tourist attraction that leverages
the local streetscape. The front desk, restaurants, and hotel rooms occupy buildings that are scattered
throughout the town, making the town of Takehara one large hotel.
Check in at the Front Desk Wing, and stroll through authentic, historical streets lined with merchants and
tradesmen houses to get to the Guest Room Wing. Former ryokan style inns and warehouses were turned into
guest rooms, each featuring a different taste. Immerse yourself in the local history and culture while
sampling an authentic way of life for a night or two.
HOTEI Wing
The former MIZUGI-honten operated as a ryotei, a traditional Japanese restaurant, until around 1975. It
now serves as the hotel's Front Desk and Dining Room Wing.
MOSO Wing
Built in the Meiji Era, the Guest Room Wing was repurposed from the former Geibi Bank (current Hiroshima
Bank) building turned MIZUGI Ryokan. The unique building is reminiscent of both a bank and ryokan inn.
