Welcome to Nihonyanagi-Ryokan !
Experience traditional Japanese customs, delicious local food, and warm hospitality at the historical Nihonyanagi Ryokan Inn.
Our establishment, founded by Fukutaro Nihonyanagi in 1933, has been run as a nostalgic and authentic Japanese ryokan inn. Step inside to feel time passing slowly while lingering in the atmosphere of the early Showa era (around 1930s ~ 1940s).
The fourth-generation current owner, Yoshiki Nihonyanagi, has been managing the inn with his family and started to run a handmade ‘soba’ noodle restaurant named ‘Kyuzou’ in 2011.
At lunch time, soba made from local fresh buckwheat flour and kelp soba soup, are offered in the dining area. An entertaining soba-making hands-on workshop is available upon request.
The inn’s corridor, passages, and stairs offer you the feeling of history and the warmth of wood everywhere.
All guests have access to a shared bathroom, restrooms, washing area and a shared refrigerator is available upon request. Wi-fi and parking are also available free of charge.
Some Japanese rooms are divided by antique sliding doors and others are a mix of Japanese and Western styles. Rooms are fitted with tatami flooring, a TV, and futon bedding.
Enjoy the rustic views of our small fishing town and the sea from the rooms.
Meals are served in the dining room on the first floor.
A Japanese breakfast is available upon request for an extra charge.
