[Closed Down]Kamakura Guesthouse

This facility was built by craftsmen called “miyadaiku,” who specialize in traditional architecture like shrines and temples. The building was originally used as a restaurant for Akita cuisine, but it is now used as a guesthouse, a place for the people of the world to come and rest. It was also built without using a single nail; instead, it uses fitted wood framing. This method of construction leaves no room for errors, so it can’t be achieved by a subpar carpenter.
