Announcement of the special accommodation plan for the New Year period at Nipponia Hotel Iga Ueno Castle Town.

The end of the year and the beginning of a new year is a time of reflection and excitement for new hopes.

Where and with whom you spend this important moment, looking back on the past year peacefully and celebrating the coming year, holds special meaning.

At Nipponia Hotel Iga Ueno Castle Town, we have started early reservations for the "New Year Special Accommodation Plan," where you can experience Japan's traditions and seasonal flavors with all five senses, available exclusively for stays from December 26, 2026 (Saturday) to January 2, 2027 (Saturday) in a special location with historical buildings and traditional streets.

New Year Limited Special Plan

Limited to the year-end and New Year period: Two special experiences and hospitality.

In this plan, we provide special seasonal experiences and cuisine tailored to the duration of your stay.

December 26 to December 30 Check-in
Relaxation for year-end and the hospitality of "New Year's drink"

A pre-year-end stay to avoid the year-end crowds and quietly heal the fatigue of the year.

As a special hospitality only during this season, we offer "Hatsu Shibori Shinshu" from a local sake brewery or "non-alcoholic drinks." We will deliver a refreshing drink to celebrate the New Year, tailored to your arrival or dining occasion.
(* Depending on the supply situation, either the new sake or the non-alcoholic drink will be provided.)

December 31 to January 2 Check-in
Authentic New Year hospitality connecting traditions

On New Year's Eve, we prepare a "special New Year's soba" wishing for a year of good health.
And on the morning of the New Year, welcoming the refreshing first sunrise, we offer a special breakfast in the style of osechi, filled with carefully selected local ingredients and culture to celebrate the New Year. The different flavors from each region are the true pleasure of traveling as if living in that place.

A recommended room for your family stay. A private and relaxing space to unwind.

For your year-end and New Year travels, you want to relax without worries, even with three generations of family or children. Our hotel offers family-friendly rooms that preserve the charm of historical architecture while providing modern comfort.

Memorable 'Celebratory Flavors' and a Peaceful Stay

What we cherish is providing a time of "seclusion and luxury" that blends into the history and climate of the land, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Centered around Iga Ueno Castle, Iga still retains the charm of its historic townscape and castle town. As you stroll slowly through the castle town, reflect on the history and culture of Iga at the year's end. And in the new year, visit the venerable temples and shrines, taking a moment to wish for happiness in the coming year. Enjoy a unique year-end and New Year in Iga, where history and culture come alive in the crisp winter air.

A special milestone that occurs once a year. Please welcome the warm New Year with your loved ones in a charming space that reflects the history and culture of Iga.
All of our staff are preparing the utmost hospitality and are looking forward to welcoming you.
