“Staying in a converted traditional merchant house is undeniably charming, especially with generous living spaces across two floors. The scent of wood adds to the character, though light sleepers should note street-facing rooms can be noisy. Its location in historic Sawara, coupled with unique cultural activities and allergy-free amenities, is a definite draw.”
