A wonderful journey begins from historical buildings
The old Kimura Sake Brewery (owned by Asago City) located in the castle town of Takeda has been renovated, fully utilizing the vast grounds to transform it into a hotel, restaurant, and a complex commercial facility that fosters connections between people. The space, which once served as a social venue for the owner, now functions as the hotel front desk. The locally rooted staff, known as "VMG Concierge," provides guests with a better start to their journey.

Touching the history of Takeda Castle Ruins across time
The area of Asago, where Takeda Castle is located, was once the border between Tajima Province and Harima Province, serving as a key castle that overlooked both regions. The castle town boasted such prosperity that it was called "Takeda Senken" (Takeda Thousand Houses), and even after the decline of Takeda Castle, the town remained a vital thoroughfare for travelers between Himeji and Toyooka. Even now, if one listens closely to the murmuring of the Maruyama River and gazes up at the castle standing on the mountain, the echoes of its former days quietly spread in the heart.
