The accommodations at the Nishimuraya Honkan embody the ryokan spirit with tatami mat floors, chabudai dining tables, and sliding paper doors. Windows look out on intricate gardens, and some accommodations are even fitted with private gardens and open-air baths. Generally speaking, the one-room accommodations can house two to four guests, while the two-room ones can house up to seven. The resort's two special rooms are located in the Hiratakan Annex building, which was constructed in 1960 by master sukiya-style architect Masaya Hirata. It is the inn’s newest addition.

Japanese Style Room

With tatami mat floors, chabudai dining tables, and sliding paper doors, these rooms perfectly embody the ryokan experience. Décor is simple and comfortable, yet painstakingly detailed. These accommodations offer views of the expansive Japanese garden from their terrace area and include either one or two rooms. Upgrade to the Matsu Special Room to enjoy a two-room accommodation constructed in the shoin-style of architecture. Often used in Japanese Buddhist temples, this room’s aesthetic is fit for Japanese nobility.

One Room with Open-Air Bath

The Hatsune and Asuka Rooms feature private open-air baths and secluded gardens. The Asuka Room is slightly larger than the Hatsune Room with a 10 tatami-mat size room compared to the Hatsune's eight.

Horai Special Room

Situated in the Hiratakan annex, this generously sized accommodation features two main guest rooms (twelve and six tatami-mat size), a generously sized living room, and an open-air bath. Large windows look out across the Hirtakan garden, as well as a forest-shrouded mountain, and the bath is constructed with Japanese cypress wood. The work of master sukiya-style architect Masaya Hirata, this room is certain to impress.

Kangetsu Special Room

The larger of the two rooms in the Hiratakan annex, this crown jewel features a 16 tatami-mat size room, delicately patterned transoms, and large shoji paper walls. The accommodation has private gardens, and its private open-air bath is made of shigaraki porcelain. A signature work of sukiya-style architect Masaya Hirata, this elegant room can comfortably house up to seven guests.
