Takeda Castle Ruins, the castle in the sky, and the
charming castle town that spreads at its foot
The Takeda Castle ruins, referred to as the 'Castle in the Sky,' have a fantastical appearance as they float in a sea of clouds.
This mountain castle, which flourished during the Warring States period, still has beautifully preserved stone walls and shows different expressions with the changing seasons.
At its feet lies the castle town, where the lives of the people who supported the castle still breathe, and the townscape, which retains the traces of that time, stands quietly.
Stone-paved roads, white-walled townhouses, and historic temples and shrines. Each time I visit, I am welcomed by a landscape that invites me on a journey through time, both nostalgic and new.
A town that connects time and people, Takeda
Once a place filled with the aroma of sake brewing, Takeda town now harbors a new breath of life that transcends time. "Takeda Castle Town Hotel EN" is a transformation of the former Kimura Sake Brewery, which has been operated by the Kimura family, rooted in the Sengoku period, for about 400 years, preserved and renovated by Asago City, and reborn in 2013.
The hotel and restaurant, utilizing the vast grounds of the castle town, are cherished as spaces that connect people. Enjoy the deep charm of Takeda in a space where history and modernity blend.
The entire town becomes a hotel
Distributed hotel
A decentralized hotel is a concept that reuses buildings with history and culture scattered throughout the town, distributing the reception, guest rooms, restaurants, and other facilities across different buildings, creating a single accommodation space that encompasses the entire town.
By perceiving the whole town as a single space, it naturally allows visitors to wander through the town and interact with people and culture, while also providing private time in guest rooms such as whole building rentals, where they can relax without worrying about their surroundings.
The time spent blending into the visited town allows guests to experience various attractions that can only be felt with all five senses.
Moreover, by revitalizing the entire town along with the historically and culturally valuable building that was at risk of being demolished, it leads to efforts to preserve the local culture and activities in a vibrant form for the future.
