Nakae Jungoro, an influential Omi merchant who built a vast retail network of nearly twenty department stores across Japan, once used this detached building as a guesthouse to welcome and entertain visitors to his family residence.

Today, the former guest quarters have been carefully renovated into an exclusive private accommodation, blending historical character with modern comfort.

The residence offers elegant Japanese-modern interiors and overlooks a beautiful strolling pond garden (Chisen Kaiyushiki Garden), designed to be enjoyed from various viewpoints as guests move through the landscape surrounding the main house.

Accommodating up to five guests, the Annex offers a comfortable and intimate setting that is ideal for smaller groups and families.

The space is equipped with a mini kitchen, a dining counter, and a traditional sunken kotatsu table, making it an excellent choice for guests who wish to relax and spend quality time indoors at their own pace.

Enjoy exclusive access to the private open-air bath, reserved solely for guests staying in the Annex.

When accommodating three or more guests, additional guests will sleep on traditional Japanese futon bedding prepared in the room.

Leave the distractions of daily life behind and immerse yourself in a quiet, relaxing escape.

We invite you to experience a truly memorable stay in this beautifully preserved residence, where more than 90 years of history and tradition provide the backdrop for a special and enriching journey.
