Once upon a time. "Imai-cho"- the town that miraculously survived , incredible
scenery spreading in front of you. Each traditional house preserves the life of"Imai-cho".

The town, which had big economic power and a spirit of self-government, confronted
Oda Nobunaga, one of the strongest feudal lords. The people have inherited the wayof tea tradition and the buildings from the Edo Period.
The town, established in the
Sengoku Period (16th cen.),miraculously survived and buildings
from the Edo Period still exist in alarge area. Based on the principleof a self-governing town, rows ofold buildings have been preserved.
Recently shops matching thisatmosphere have opened, adding
new appeal to the town.

"Hanairaka" provides historical
documents about Imai-cho , a scalemodel of the landscape and various
maps. A town of the Edo Period has
been preserved in the large town of
Imai-cho. Not only the daytime but
also the evenings are very attractive.

The accommodation, a renovated old family
home; offers charms of traditional Japanesearchitecture such as "Mise-no-ma", the very
first room from the entrance and a box-using
staircase.
