An inn with over 120 years of history

• 📜It began as a catering shop in the Edo period and is said to have served as a resting place for travelers and merchants since the Meiji era.
• 🔑Closed in 2015, it reopened on May 30, 2026 as a hybrid ryokan, carrying on the wishes of the former proprietress.
• 🚪Its concept is a stay that is completed by heading out into town, serving as a gateway to Joetsu and Takada.

Tatami rooms with Showa-era charm

• 🛏️All 8 guest rooms are tatami-floored.
• 🪵Renovations were kept to a minimum to preserve the old character, in a deep, narrow layout typical of Takada machiya townhouses.
• 👂As a wooden building, you may hear footsteps in the corridor or children's laughter.
