NIPPONIA HOTEL Uchiko Machiya
Uchiko, Ehime, Japan · NIPPONIA HOTEL · Accessible Luxury
Uchiko made its money in wax. NIPPONIA turned the old merchant townhouses into a hotel, so you sleep in the machiya that once packed Japan candles rather than in a roadside business box. Ehime. The Yokaichi historic district is the lobby: plaster walls, lattice facades, and a town that still looks like a wax-merchant street.
- Neighborhood: Yokaichi
