ABOUT MACHIYADO まちやどについて

WHAT IS MACHIYADO? まちやどとは?

MACHIYADO regards the surrounding neighborhood or town to be an integral extension of lodgings, so we connect the daily life of our local town to our accommodation services.We aim to add value to the local community by involving the town itself to welcome visitors.

Our purpose is also to offer one-of-a-kind experiences to our guests, not only to bring new opportunities for the local residents and businesses. We believe that daily life can be the most powerful attraction, and that can be achieved by connecting travelers to pre-existing resources in the town and the local businesses there.

We also believe that such system goes back to our historical roots, and is the original system for accomodating travelers in Japan, before modern times.Shukuba-machi (post-towns for travelers established at one-day intervals along highways in Japan during the Edo period) provided spots for eating, bathing, sight-seeing, and sleeping, lined up along the highway to accommodate travelers. Through MACHIYADO, we will make that diverse lodging experience reappear in the present day.
