About About Meirekikan
A traditional Japanese house from the late Edo period,
carefully restored for a peaceful stay.
Hidden in the mountains of Tenri,
this quiet retreat stays 2–3°C cooler than Nara City in summer,
earning it the nickname “the Karuizawa of Nara.”
Historic Architecture
The beauty of the old house deepens with the seasons,
especially during cherry blossom time.
