The inn was founded in 1920, and you can feel its history in the small but elegant garden. The interior of the hotel is a traditional low-ceilinged hallway, creating a homely atmosphere that makes guests feel as if they have returned to their hometown.

The secret to its popularity is that it has a large hall that can accommodate a large number of guests. The fittings remain as they were when the store was founded, making you feel like you've traveled back in time to the Showa era.

The proprietress, Midori Taoka. ``We are a ryokan that sells comfort, so we would be happy if you could spend a relaxing time there.We are particular about using natural seafood for our dishes.I think you will be able to enjoy dishes that you cannot easily find in other areas.''

A pure Japanese-style inn with a history that will soon be celebrating 100 years since its establishment. We strive to provide courteous and heartfelt "hospitality" and provide services that value each customer's time and space. Another appeal is that they offer seafood caught in Gokasho Bay at reasonable prices.

A ``natural hot spring'' that uses simple alkaline hot springs from Nanse Sakurayama Onsen. It seems like you can slowly heal the fatigue of your trip here.
