Inside Japan’s ‘Little Kyoto’—a samurai house you can actually stay in #japan #historic #luxury

Enjoy a relaxing stay in Obi’s historic castle town, in two renovated houses—a former samurai residence and a 100-year-old traditional home.
You can enjoy a semi open-air bath and local craft beer during your stay.

Obi is the first town in Kyushu chosen as an Important Preservation District.
Its beautiful streets are known as the “Little Kyoto of Kyushu.”

Both houses were restored by PAAK DESIGN, a local design studio that works on architecture, kominka renovations, hotel management, and local crafts.

Sai is a 100-year-old house reborn with modern design.
Akane-sasu carries the history of the samurai residence of Denzaemon Ito.

At PAAK HOTEL, you can enjoy the peaceful townscape, nature, and delicious local food culture at your own pace.
