SAMURAI HOUSE Ⅲ
This is a rental inn located in a whole building, about 3 minutes walk from Nagoya Municipal Subway Taikodori Station and about 10 minutes walk from JR Nagoya Station. The concept is based on Tokugawa Ieyasu, who won the Battle of Sekigahara, established the Edo Shogunate, and brought peace to the nation. SAMURAI HOUSE, named after one of Japan's three great warlords with connections to Nagoya City, is the highest grade of the three buildings, and has a deep charm that focuses on the worldview after the unification of Japan. I want to enjoy imagining history.
