MUJI room SAKAMOTOYA is located in Yoshino, Nara, a region revered since ancient times as a sacred place where nature itself has been worshiped. Once a lodging for Shugendō practitioners, Sakamotoya has welcomed travelers for over a century. Now, we have transformed part of this historic inn into three unique rooms. Step away from the everyday and immerse yourself in the beauty of Yoshino’s changing seasons.
A Cozy Family-Run Inn
— Sakamotoya
Welcoming you is the Sakamoto family, who have lovingly managed this inn for generations. Their warm, home-like hospitality ensures a comfortable stay. Don’t hesitate to ask them for recommendations on exploring the temple paths and local sights.
A Place Centered on the Cycle of Nature and Culture
Designed with sustainable regional resources like Yoshino cedar, this inn embodies the MUJI philosophy. From amenities crafted from nature’s gifts to the revival of once-closed guest rooms, every detail reflects a commitment to sustainability and thoughtful living.
