NISHIMURATEI 西村邸 Hanare ― 築110年の古民家一棟貸しキッチン&ダイニング

こんにちは。西村邸へようこそ。主宰の杉本雄太です。 西村邸は、築110年以上の伝統的な奈良町屋です。ぼく自身が子どもの頃、長い時間を過ごした「おばあちゃんち」を改修して2019年に宿としてオープンしました。奈良町屋のありのままの姿を残しているので不便も多く、すべてが揃うような豪奢なホテルではありません。  そのかわり、奈良町に漂う「心地よいひなび」に浸るにはこれ以上ない場所だと考えています。駅前の喧騒をはなれた環境で「内省と回復」の手助けになればとの思いで、お部屋の書籍やベジタリアンスタイルの朝食を用意しています。(お部屋の書籍は、ほぼ全てご購入いただけます。)  どうぞ今夜は、西村邸と奈良町の静けさの中で、ご自身の心の声に耳を澄ませながらお過ごしください。
