• 📜The Tsuki wing, added in 1931, and the Matsu wing are both Registered Tangible Cultural Properties of Japan.
• 🌊It sits on Mitohama, a calm cove deep inside Suruga Bay.

Dazai Osamu's room, Tsukimiso

• ✍️Novelist Dazai Osamu stayed here in February 1947 and wrote the first two chapters of The Setting Sun.
• 🖋️He worked in Tsukimiso on the second floor of the Matsu wing, a 10-tatami corner room wrapped by corridors on two sea-facing sides, overlooking the pier and Mt. Fuji.
• 🛏️The room keeps its original layout and can still be booked; there is also a small Dazai archive, Izu Bunko.
