Interior Features
Maze-like structures along bathing facilities
Bathing facilities were built first and the rest of the ryokan was built later. As a result, the layout of the building has become like a maze.
For example, “Rakusen no yu”, which is one of the original baths existing since the ryokan’s foundation in 1868, is located on a semi-basement. From the bath, a chimney to release the water vapor was built up to the roof to prevent high humidity. When the building was renovated in Taisho Period, corridors and guest rooms were built along the chimney.
