MACHIYA RESIDENCE INN Takayama to Open in November 2024

In November 2024, MACHIYA RESIDENCE INN Takayama will officially open in Takayama, Gifu Prefecture, offering an exclusive private Machiya townhouse holiday house experience.

Following our holiday house brands in Kyoto and Kanazawa, Takayama will become the third city in our expanding portfolio, with the launch of MACHIYA RESIDENCE INN Takayama ‘Ichika” as the first of several planned openings.

Surrounded by breathtaking natural landscapes, Hida-Takayama is a city rich in cultural heritage. It is home to the preserved Edo-period Old Town district, the Takayama Jinya, Japan’s only surviving Edo-era government office, and the UNESCO-listed Shirakawa-go, famous for its traditional gassho-zukuri thatched-roof houses. The city also hosts the Takayama Festival, a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage event known for its elaborate floats and centuries-old traditions.

By bringing our machiya accommodations to Hida-Takayama, we aim to offer travelers an immersive stay that connects them with the region’s history, culture, and natural beauty.
