About Arai Jutaku
Arai Jutaku was built in 1932 by Suekichi Arai, a businessman from Semba, Osaka, as both a reception hall and a private residence in his hometown of Izumisano.
This purely Japanese-style wooden structure features a vast traditional garden surrounded by three wings: the Oku-zashiki (inner drawing room), the Zashiki (guest room), and the Main Residence. Each room offers a serene view of the garden, complemented by tatami-floored corridors and engawa (verandas). To the right, the Main Residence and a storehouse add to the historical ambiance of the property.
Enjoy a memorable experience in this historic and culturally rich setting.
