History
In the past, when the Uko ferry was the only transportation between Shikoku and Honshu, pre-war Takamatsu was known as a place of artistic significance called “Sanuki Geidokoro” with more than 200 geiko.
Nicho inherited the name of a geiko from this colorful time. Nicho meaning two butterflies, embodies the hope that the restaurant will flourish, like two butterflies, a male and a female, soaring upwards in a romantic entanglement.
Built in sukiya-style (tea house-style) with an area of around 1,500m² and 13 rooms of varying sizes, the building is registered as a tangible cultural property.
Nicho has a variety of rooms to suit every occasion and number of guests, including large, medium and small banquet halls offering seating options ranging from sunken kotatsu tables and tatami to tables and chairs.
