About OCHIAIRO
Three charms of Ochiairo
1.
A ryokan cherished by great literary figures of the past.
Once upon a time in the early Meiji period, the ryokan was initially founded in 1874.
It was named Ochiairo from the Japanese term 'Ochiau', a Japanese term for 'rendezvous',
as it was built on a land where two rivers join into one.
In the Meiji period, Katai Tayama and Toson Shimazaki.
In the Taisho period, Yasunari Kawabata and Motojiro Kajii.
In the early Showa period, Bokusui Wakayama and Hakushu Kitahara, etc.,
renowned writers and artists cherished this inn
and indulged in writing at this location.
Embraced by the majestic mountains of Izu and the murmuring streams,
you can relax both body and mind in the leisurely flow of time.
2. A cultural property
filled with craftsmanship.
Ochiairo is a Registered Tangible Cultural Property,
crafted with the highest level of craftsmanship from its time.
The main building is constructed with a focus on elegance, utilizing distinguished woods such as black persimmon and rosewood.
