Program for experience of stay at the whole-reserved old folk houses in the merchant town Entire Town Stay in Sawara

Sawara is a town that still retains the atmosphere of an Edo-period merchant town, and here you can reserve 11 hotels that have been renovated from traditional merchant houses and warehouses. Dinner parties can be held at a restaurant in a renovated sake brewery. This program lets you enjoy the whole of this historic town. Optional content can also be arranged. Examples include ① Walk around town in traditional Japanese clothing; ② Canal tour on small Japanese-style boats; ③ Sake brewery tour; ④ Riverboat banquet cruise on the Tone River (in planning); ⑤ Japanese Sento (public bath) experience (in planning).

Features

Staying in a town and not in a constructed theme park is recommended for all-expenses-paid trips and incentive travel. Staying in a place where you can directly experience Japan’s culture and history is a special and unique experience that cannot be had anywhere else. The decentralized accommodation style also prevents crowding for added safety, and the location just 30 minutes from Narita Airport allows for easy access.
Initiatives for SDGs and sustainability: We are creating a sustainable town by attracting people to the town and restoring its prosperity through the utilization of historical buildings such as cultural properties, traditional town houses and old folk houses, which had been only intended to be viewed, as dispersed hotels.
One feature is commitment to local consumption of local products, such as the use of special local products for each of foods, drinks and amenities.
