Description
┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ ◆ Limited to one group per day/private ~ long-established ryokan and warehouse experience-style stay ◆ ┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛ ■ Location, History, Features ■ In Mitsuhama, the port town of Matsuyama/Dogo, there are four white-walled storehouses built in the Edo period and four gardens surrounding a 106-year-old long-established kaiseki ryokan (formerly the Kanaga Ryokan). The white plastered earthen walls, natural Kenji-ji bamboo fences, and other features have been gradually renovated and revitalized (currently in the process of revitalization).Originally an old house opened as an almost 100% inbound accommodation.We are conducting a semi open-air bath in the interior of the warehouse and renovation work centered around the water. ■ Soothing moss garden ■ There are three gardens: a front garden, a courtyard, and a back garden. Well water flows everywhere, and there is a stream that flows between the water basin, the gourd, the deer repeller, and the stepping stones. The pond is home to koi, goldfish, medaka, conger eel, and river shrimp, and it is a biotope space where wild birds visit. ■ Chick-in lounge (cafe/bar space), souvenir corner ■ You can drink authentic cocktails on the first floor of the main building.There is a souvenir corner with imported interior goods, accessories, natural stone, and more from Japan, Bali, and other countries. The space ■ space ■ This is a second-floor room in a long-established inn located in the annex (main building). A Japanese-style bedroom with a sliding door with a plentiful shadow of a paulownia crest, a lattice, an ocher wall, and a glass sliding door. From the continuous glass windows and the quaint veranda with a handrail (16 m), you can see two tsubo gardens, the flow of water, and koi. At night, you are surrounded by fantastic lamps, and in the morning, natural sunlight pours in, and the combination of feng shui, comfort, and a dreamy atmosphere can be experienced. ■ Kuran's open-air bath■ The sound of water echoes with a "varied flow" that is rich in rustic charm. The outdoor bath in the storehouse is new and nostalgic. The storehouse has been undergoing DIY renovations since 2024. Please enjoy the moss garden from the perspective of a living thing while soaking in the tub, listening to the sound of the water flowing from the bamboo waterfall and waterfall stone. ■ Healing space ■ To emphasize the culture of the good old days, handmade lamps, interiors, art paintings, and natural wood furniture from Bali, as well as houseplants and moss balls, were directly imported from overseas and accentuated. Almost all of the lighting in the building is remote controlled with spotlights and Asian lamps. ■ What you get ■ ① Welcome drink service with delicious mandarin juice produced in Ehime Prefecture and delivered directly from the farm. ② Famous Matsuyama confectionery/sweets/mandarin orange gift service (subject to change depending on the season). ③ There is a gift service such as miscellaneous goods for customers who cooperate with saving electricity in the space on the ground floor. Guest access ■ Guest access ■ It's okay to enter the private space and do anything other than pushing. Please try not to step on the moss garden as much as possible. ■ Check in ■ Proceed straight down the long corridor from the front entrance of the inn, and you will find the check-in lounge on the ground floor of the annex (main building), separated by a corridor with a railing, where you can enjoy a welcome drink. Other things to note We do not allow children under 12 years of age to stay. If we confirm that a child is accompanying you after you make a reservation, we may cancel the reservation. There is a private space in the annex near the entrance hall, and staff are always available for 48 hours or more. Please note that we do not provide keys. This guest house has been certified under the Hotel and Ryokan Management Law (as a simple accommodation). Please be sure to contact us if you plan to check in later than the scheduled time. The curfew is 11:30 pm. There is no toilet on the second floor of the guest room. The stairs to the 2nd floor are old-fashioned and a little steep. There is no kitchen or washing machine in the room, so you cannot cook for yourself. We generally do not allow anyone to enter the building except for guests staying at the property. Currently, the half-open-air bath, toilet, shower room, 2nd floor of the storehouse, moss garden, etc. are also under DIY renovation. It will take several years to complete the construction, so thank you for your understanding. Of course, DIY renovations are going on little by little, but there is no place that cannot be used. You are fine. Everything is fine except for the second floor of the warehouse. Registration Details Hotels and Inns Business Act | 愛媛県松山市保健所 | 松保(生衛)第507号
