with a 120-year history. At MAHORA, you can relax, play freely, and find your peace.

Room
MAHORA is designed to illuminate the uniqueness of the Japanese village and the essence of Myoko. We retained the original structure and traditional construction methods of the old house, and discuss the renovation process with our community and various professionals. The interior retains the Japanese layout, and the air is filled with the rich aroma of tatami mats. Natural light warmly penetrates the interior, old earthen walls blend with new materials, and each room showcases the unique mix of traditional and modernJapanese architecture. We furnished the space with furniture, lighting, utensils, etc. that match the atmosphere of the old house. Here, you are surrounded by the scent of earth and wood, to relax your mind, body and soul.
