Rise’s House Owner/
Nishio Tourism Ambassador
Rise Komura
The initial inspiration for opening this inn came from my experience at the University of Michigan in the United States in 2021. At an event organized by the local Japanese Student Association, a group dedicated to enjoying Japanese culture, an astonishing 200 new students participated. Many expressed their dreams of visiting Japan, and I was deeply moved by their passion for Japanese culture.
Upon returning to Japan, I realized that my hometown, Nishio, is full of Japanese attractions, including traditional foods like matcha and eel, and the picturesque streets of Little Kyoto. This realization sparked my desire to provide enjoyable experiences for visitors from overseas in Nishio.
After gaining valuable experience at Hoshino Resorts, I decided to open my own inn, thanks to the enthusiastic support of the city government and a chance encounter with a charming vacant house!
ようこそ
Inn with Tea Room
Welcome to
Rise's House

Most of the city's tourist attractions, including Nishio Castle and beautiful Japanese gardens, can be easily visited on foot from this inn. There are 10 temples within a 5-minute walk and 10 shrines within a 10-minute walk.
It is more than just a place to stay; it is a gateway to connecting with the local community and offers an immersive experience of traditional Japanese culture.
Little Kyoto
Private Walking Tour
The area around Rise's House is full of historical spots. Rise Komura will take you on a walk around Nishio Castle, temples, shrines, miso warehouses, etc., while giving you a fun historical background. Ironically we do not have that many tourists, so it is easy to take amazing pictures.
Tea Grinding & Tea Ceremony
You can enjoy a simple tea ceremony experience in the tea room of Rise's House by grinding Nishio's powdered green tea using an authentic tea grinder (Okazaki granite) borrowed from the Nishio Tea Cooperative! Advance reservations are required for the tea grinder & tea ceremony experience.

About Nishio City
Tired of crowded tourist destinations?
Then why not come to Nishio?
If you fold a map of Japan in half, Nishio is right in the middle. Only 50 minutes by train from Nagoya Station, Nishio is famous for its matcha green tea and eel cuisine.
Nishio, knows as “Little Kyoto of Mikawa” boasts traditional buildings and an old townscape that seems to have slipped back in time.
It is a place where there are not as many tourists as in Tokyo, Kyoto, or Osaka, and you can have the lovely scenery all to yourself.
