Tetsu-juro (former Ogunis ) , Himeji Castles back parlor-like"400-year-old inn"
The main house (a nationally registered cultural property) of the former Oguni village headman's residence, said to be eight years older than Himeji Castle, has been renovated and reborn as lodging. The former Oguni residence is the birthplace of Oguni Tetsujuro, the village headman who saved peasants during the Bantan Uprising. Therefore, the inn bears his name, “Tetsujuro.” Experience the luxury of exclusive use at Tetsujuro, a secluded retreat reminiscent of Himeji Castle's inner chambers. Immerse yourself in the historical romance and charm felt throughout, enjoying a nostalgic stay.
