NIPPONIA Sawara Merchant Town Hotel

Modern restored japanase house. All drinks(sake,wine,beer)are free in mini bar. Comfortable beds. Kind staffs. Good dinner(included)

Difficult to open the entrance door by using key. Noisy outside at night.

The hotel room was clean, newly renovated and very modern. The staff was wonderful. Our room was situated right next to the canal and part of the famous Inoh Tadatake museum. Very convenient to the old town of Sawara , which is what I wanted to visit.

My only concern was that the reception and dining area is in a separate building from ours and there was no transport to and from. Our room was about a quarter mile or a little less from the main building that housed reception and restaurant. The good thing is, we are old but able to walk. We left our baggage, walked around town, came back to claim our luggage and walked back to find our hotel room. Then for dinner, we had to walk back to the main building and after dinner, walk back to our room. Night gets dark early so walking along the side of a road with cars can be quite hazardous. The following day, we were able to find another route to and from so that made it a little easier.

The accommodations were excellent - very comfortable, great layout, nice amenities

Could have been given more assistance with restaurants in the area. We asked and were told there were plenty of options. It took us some effort to find something open.

1. Excellence of restored house from Edo period.2. Location in An interesting small historical town.3. Great place to stop on way to Narita.to avoid Tokyo!!4. Food was excellent

If there were a rating higher than 10 this place should have it. I was expecting very rustic but from the moment we arrived at the gorgeous reception it had the feeling of a 5 star hotel and our “room” which covered two floors was everything we hoped for-Authentic with a modern comfort. All drinks were complimentary and we even had gift bags on the bed. The breakfast was an outstanding Japanese style where all dietary restrictions were met. This was definitely a splurge for us but worth and the perfect final night in Japan before flying out of Narita.

Clean rooms and comfortable beds. Very Japanese styled rooms and designs. Located in old town Narita. Very good breakfast. If you want to experience Japanese culture this is the hotel to stay.

We had hard time to find the main reception. Rooms are located all over the main old town road… In summer time maybe it’s better but winter time its a disaster. Can’t ask anyone for direction because nobody speaks English. I don’t recommend this place for winter because everything around is closed and rooms get very cold at night.

Came with dinner and breakfast. The rooms were at different houses in the (small) town which was very interesting.

A bit confusing at first to find the reception address

Not a common experience!

Noisy due to too traffics located to the street.My room was too apart from the reception and the kind staff carried our big heavy luggages all the way without carrage car.We were concerned about our luggage wheels.

Great converted old buildings, some of which are in great locations. We were overlooking the canal with all the merchant houses. Large Japanese style breakfast with many courses, free fully stocked mini bar. Late check out.

It’s expensive.

Hospitality staff took care of us. An excellent stay.

Bathroom may need some improvement.

Excellent hotel for travellers who wish to immerse into the history of Sawara. Staffs are exceptional. The eat local dinning experience is superb.

Honestly there’s nothing I don’t like here.
