…unique hotels in Japan
"If you're looking for a unique place to stay in Japan, then Hoshinoya Nara Prison might just fit the bill. Opened on 25 June, this hotel occupies the former Nara Prison and is operated by Hoshino Resorts, one of Japan's leading luxury hospitality companies. Using its expertise, the company has retained many of the prison's original features and even transformed former prison cells into guest rooms to create one of Japan's most unforgettable stays.
Originally built in 1908, the former Nara Prison is a designated Important Cultural Property and the only surviving prison to remain fully intact from Japan's Five Great Meiji Prisons. These famous correctional facilities – constructed in Nara, Chiba, Kanazawa, Nagasaki and Kagoshima – were designed by architect Keijiro Yamashita and commissioned by the Japanese government as part of a major shift towards a modern, centralised prison system in the Meiji era (1868-1912)…" link link
