A historic townscape spread out in the castle town.
It remains unchanged from that time.
Experience the traditions and culture of Iga
A special walking tour of the town
I have a suggestion.
Decentralized hotel
"NIPPONIA HOTEL Iga Ueno Castle Town"
Decentralized hotels perceive the entire city as a single space, allowing visitors to naturally explore the city and engage with its people and culture, while also providing private time in guest rooms that are dispersed throughout the area, free from concerns about their surroundings.
The decentralized hotel "Nipponia Hotel Iga Ueno Castle Town" realizes a unique travel experience that differs from conventional travel by utilizing historical buildings that retain the culture and traditions that flourished around Iga Ueno Castle, allowing guests to stay integrated with the town.
Surrounded by mountains, in this town where regional exchanges are actively conducted, you can touch historical buildings, experience culture, and engage with the lives of people from that time.
Enjoy a special time rediscovering the subtlety of Japanese culture with a stay unique to a dispersed hotel, where you can naturally blend into the town while moving between the front desk, accommodation buildings, and restaurant.
A wonderful journey begins from historical buildings
Facing the Yamato Highway, "NAIKI" has been reborn as an inn with two guest rooms and a front building, preserving the essence of "Tanaka Seika Wholesale", which has been processing banana ripening since the early Meiji period.
From the reception, which is attractive with its attention to detail unique to cultural properties, the locally rooted staff, "VMG Concierge", provides guests with a better start to their journey.
In the guest room building where traces of each era remain,
experience the tradition of Iga
Nipponia Hotel Iga Ueno Castle Town is a decentralized hotel with accommodations scattered throughout the town, allowing guests to experience the entire area centered around Iga Ueno Castle.
In the accommodations, some houses and storehouses have been repaired, preserving the original decor as much as possible, providing a deeply meaningful moment where you can feel the breath of the people from that era.
In your room, you can view traditional crafts by artists from Iga, read books about Iga, and fully experience the culture of Iga.
A representative tourist spot of Iga, knowing Iga
Ueno Park, thriving as the center of Iga tourism, starting with Iga Ueno Castle.
The castle itself serves as a museum, and visitors can fully enjoy the charm of Iga with breathtaking views of Japan's highest stone walls, the Iga Ninja Museum, the Haisei Hall, and the Basho Memorial Hall, among others.
At the adjacent Danjiri Hall, you can also see the powerful displays of the "Ueno Tenjin Matsuri," which is registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage.
Enjoy the unknown
"IGAMONO" nurtured by the basin climate
Blessed with a basin climate characterized by extreme temperature fluctuations and clean water, Iga has fostered a rich and unique food culture, including mineral-rich Iga rice, high-quality Iga sake (so good it was chosen as the toasting drink at the Ise-Shima Summit), and Iga beef, whose history is even longer than that of Matsusaka beef.
LE UN, which opened in the former Eirakukan, a cultural property, is a French restaurant where you can enjoy the unique cuisine of Iga in a new style.
Sometimes the chef himself selects and serves the ingredients harvested that day.
Enjoy dishes that prioritize local production and consumption, served on Iga ware plates, paired with carefully selected Iga sake chosen to complement the food.
Enjoy "IGAMONO," a product rarely available outside the prefecture, with all your senses.
Immerse yourself in the lingering feelings of travel in an open space
In a room that retains traditional designs, you can escape from daily life and enjoy a spacious, calming atmosphere.
With a sake lees bath that is also beneficial for beauty, and a mini-bar stocked with a variety of drinks, please enjoy a relaxing time for both body and mind.
Wander through the castle town and immerse yourself in a nostalgic yet modern atmosphere
In the grid-like townscape, there are many individual shops, including traditional Japanese sweets shops and miscellaneous goods stores.
Because it is a decentralized hotel, you can enjoy local shops during your natural stroll from the front building to the accommodation building, and from the accommodation building to the restaurant, experiencing the culture of Iga and enjoying a special trip that blends into the entire Iga area.
Please enjoy a wonderful town walk with the "VMG Passport" that offers discounts for shopping at nearby stores.
