NIPPONIA Sawara Merchant Town Hotel

Sawara Town in northern Chiba is a beautifully preserved historical district, giving you a look at how riverside towns were once booming points of commerce in the Edo and Meiji periods. NIPPONIA Sawara Merchant Town Hotel has renovated―while keeping the original appearance fully intact―some of the town’s traditional wood buildings to be guest rooms, making the town itself a place to stay, rather than have you stay in a typical stand-alone hotel. Many restaurants and shops here have existed for generations, and you'll truly be stepping back into time when you visit.
