Hotel

Ubusuna-no-Sato Tomimoto is located in Ando-cho, close to Horyuji Temple, which is the oldest wooden building in the world and is designated as a World Heritage site.

Ando-cho is an idyllic town with a comfortable atmosphere throughout the four seasons.

Once the family home of pioneering ceramist Tomimoto Kenkichi, this accommodation is an exquisite mix of the traditional and the modern. In this beautiful nature and the scenery, Mr. Tomimoto, a great master of modern pottery, has cultivated both his spirit and his skills.
