300 Years of History and the Yusentei

300 Years of History and the Yusentei

  • 🏯A long-established inn with about 300 years of history at Tamatsukuri Onsen, whose story begins with the Edo-period villa of the Matsue domain lords.
  • 📜In 1897 a senior priest of Daitokuji is said to have named it Hoseikan, meaning an inn where one can keep one's peace of mind.
  • 🌿The Yusentei, built in 1931 as lodging for the imperial family and stayed in by Emperor Showa, is a Registered Tangible Cultural Property; its special room is open for viewing only.
