Announcement of the special accommodation plan for the year-end and New Year at Nipponia Hotel Takehara Saltworks Town.

The end of the year and the beginning of the new year mark a turning point in the year, a time when our hearts are filled with excitement and new hopes.

Where and with whom you spend that precious time reflecting on the past year and celebrating the coming one holds special meaning.

Nipponia Hotel Takehara Saltworks Town is now accepting early reservations for its "New Year's Special Accommodation Plan," which allows guests to experience Japanese tradition and local seasonal flavors with all five senses. This plan is available for stays from December 26, 2026 (Saturday) to January 2, 2027 (Saturday) in a special location that preserves historical architecture and traditional streetscapes.

New Year Limited Special Plan

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

This plan offers special seasonal offerings 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.

Takehara, where townhouses and lattice doors reminiscent of the Edo period still remain, boasts a street lined with rich historical charm. As you stroll slowly through the picturesque streets, reflect on the history of old Takehara as the year comes to a close. And in the new year, visit Seihouji and Fummyoukaku, which offer a panoramic view of Takehara's streets, as well as historic temples and shrines, to wish for happiness in the coming year. From the end of the year to the beginning of the new year, enjoy the unique charm of "Aki's Little Kyoto" - Takehara.

A special milestone that occurs once a year. Please welcome the warm New Year with your loved ones in a charming space surrounded by the historically rich streets of Takehara.
All of our staff are preparing the utmost hospitality and are looking forward to welcoming you.
