[Adult trip] A trip to enjoy history and gourmet food in a quaint castle town of a ninja village. "NIPPONIA HOTEL Iga Ueno Castle Town"

掲載日:2024.04.16

NIPPONIA HOTEL Iga Ueno Jokamachi, located in IgaCity, Mie Prefecture, is based on the concept of "staying like you're hiding in the town." This luxury hotel is a hot topic as it is a unique, decentralized hotel that creates new value by restoring historical buildings and old houses.

When I heard that a new building had recently opened, my husband and I went to stay there right away. I have published a report that fully describes its charms, so I hope you will take a look.

The value created by leaving behind

The newly opened new building is located about 6 minutes walk from the front restaurant building "KANMURI".

The three types of guest rooms, each with their own stories, have been reborn and will gain new value for the next era. Experience a new style of travel at a hotel where you can experience the most Iga-like atmosphere.

Get a new style of travel by staying at a decentralized hotel

A decentralized hotel is a hotel that reuses historical and cultural buildings scattered throughout a town, distributing the reception, guest rooms, restaurants, etc., in each building, turning the entire town into a single accommodation space. By treating the entire town as one space, visitors will naturally wander around the town and spend time interacting with people and culture, and spend private time in guest rooms rented out as a whole building without worrying about their surroundings. Spending time blending into the town you visit will allow you to experience the various charms that can only be experienced there with all five senses (quoted from the NIPPONIA HOTEL website).

Iga Ueno is a place where you can fully enjoy history, culture, and gourmet food, and since it is compact, it is easy to get around and is the perfect place for a short overnight trip. Commercial tourist spots are nice, but why not spend some quiet time away from the hustle and bustle and feel the town's atmosphere?

Taste Iga with IGAMONO and local ingredients

IGAMONO refers to the food and local specialties that have been secretly cultivated in Iga, the home of the ninja. Most of them have remained hidden, but in recent years they have become known nationwide as the pride of Iga. At the NIPPONIA HOTEL Iga Ueno Castle Town, you can enjoy local ingredients, including IGAMONO such as Iga beef and Iga-Yaki ware, in the hotel restaurant.

When it comes to sightseeing spots in Mie Prefecture, Ise-Shima is by far the most popular and famous, but Iga-Ueno is like the moon, which is the sun over there. I think that Iga Ueno, which has not been well known until now, has tremendous potential for growth. I would like to pay attention to and support Iga Ueno in the future.
