Enjoy an exclusive stay in a former Omi merchant residence—unpretentious yet quietly luxurious.

The birthplace of the Omi merchants, who laid the foundation of modern Japanese economy, "Gokasho" is a nationally designated Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings, where the main residences of Omi merchants still stand.
