Our Concept

Stay above a flower shop —
a truly local machiya experience

TERAMACHI is a private machiya townhouse stay
in Kuwana's historic Teramachi district.

The building is a charming traditional townhouse: a 90-year-old family-run flower shop occupies the ground floor, and the entire second floor is your private accommodation. Renovated in a warm Japanese-modern style that preserves the original beams and craftsmanship, it features two tatami lounge areas where you can relax, stretch out, and enjoy tea together.

Just a 7-minute walk from Kuwana Station, it is perfect for travelers without a car. Use it as your base — Nagashima Spaland today, Suzuka Circuit tomorrow. The local shopping street with its morning market is nearby, and the friendly flower shop staff downstairs are happy to share their favorite restaurants and sightseeing tips.

  • Castle town charm Stroll the historic Teramachi shopping street and morning market.
  • Entire floor to yourself No other guests. Perfect for groups and families of up to 7.
  • By train or by car 7 min walk from the station, 2 free parking spaces. Gateway to Nagashima, Nagoya & Suzuka.

Important Notice

Before You Book

Please note the traditional structure

As a renovated historic townhouse, the entrance and staircase to the 2nd floor are rather narrow — please take care when carrying suitcases. To preserve its character, some ceilings are low with exposed beams overhead; taller guests should mind their heads (cushioning is installed at the most bump-prone spots).

In return, you get the authentic atmosphere of a real machiya. We recommend it to travelers who want to experience old Japan.

House Rules

  • No smoking anywhere indoors
  • Remove shoes on the 1st floor and use slippers upstairs
  • The 1st floor is a shop (florist) — guests may not enter. Accommodation is 2nd floor only
  • The balcony is off-limits
  • No bathtub — shower room only (mind the low doorway)
  • Separate your rubbish and place it in the silver outdoor bin (on departure is fine)
  • Do not leave personal belongings outdoors
  • Damage to furniture, fixtures or equipment may incur additional charges
  • ! If traces of vomiting are found after parties, a flat ¥50,000 cleaning fee will be charged
  • No cleaning during your stay. One sheet & towel set per guest
  • Please do not use the spare linens stored in the closets
