The Nipponia Hotel is a Japanese-style accommodation located in the heart of Takehara’s historic district, which has been designated an Important Preservation District for Groups of Historic Buildings. It provides a comfortable, traditional place for visitors to stay while they experience the old part of town and enjoy the local food.
The hotel opened in 2019. There are 10 guest rooms in two buildings. The reception is located in the main building, originally built in 1923 as a restaurant.

Its guest rooms have been incorporated into the original structure, which remains intact to maintain the historic atmosphere. The space is designed to provide guests with a traditional Japanese experience. Modern facilities have been incorporated to ensure guests stay in comfort.
