STORIESAbout MIROKU

Symbiotic Nara

Approximately 1300 years ago, this land, which prospered as an ancient city, brought various cultures of the continent. As Buddhism and Shinto learned here, foreign cultures and ancient Japanese cultures were eclectic and fused, creating many unique Japanese cultures.

In addition, people and deer live together in this area, and the native forest continues to be protected right next to the city, leaving a rare environment in the world.

Nara has accepted and coexisted with all cultures and values, old and new, cities and nature. The state that has continued over time will bring new awareness to us living in the future.

SHARING WITH LOCALS

THE SHARE HOTELS is a hotel brand that aims to "coexist with the community."
We design our hotels with the key artists who are leading the cultures of various parts of Japan,
and that is an open place to the local community.
When you visit here, you will not only feel the current atmosphere of the area, but also meet people
and sometimes participate in unique events.
We will keep contributing to the creation of a new local culture through gathering the charm of the local community, and transmitting it.
The value of our creation will also be shared with the community.
