Seki-juku Machiya
Kameyama City, Mie Pref.
Sekijuku, located on the plateau at the foot of the Suzuka Mountains, has historically been a key transportation hub where roads from four directions—Kyoto, Nara, Nagoya, and Ise—converged. In the 17th century, the area flourished as a post town on the Tokaido route connecting Kyoto and Edo (present-day Tokyo). Even today, it is known as a rare and valuable post town, with over 200 traditional machiya (townhouses) still remaining, including some from the Edo period. This Machiya with its distinctive Bengara-nuri lattice door is located right in the middle of Sekijuku. It features valuable elements such as a kaidan-dansu (staircase chest) and a traditional Kura storehouse, while also offering modern conveniences—such as an upgraded kitchen and bath area raised from the original earthen floor (doma). The closest big city Tsu is about 30 minutes drive away, while downtown Nagoya is about 1 hour drive away.
This property is suitable for commercial usage such as shop, restaurant, or guest house.
