News from the hotel

Our sister hotel "Yadonokura Hug" is now open!

【Matsue Ohashi Kitazume】We renovated the inn's storehouse to create a rental accommodation.

  • Live like a local in the place that Hearn and Setsu loved
    The sparkling surface of Lake Shinji Shinji and the green pines along the river swaying in the breeze.
    Supporting life in Matsue, just as it has always done,
    Yado no Kura Hug is located at the foot of Matsue Ohashi Bridge.
    This was once the residence of Meiji (time period) literary master Lafcadio Hearn and his wife Setsu.
    It is said to be a place where they lived in harmonious harmony.
    "We want you to spend happy, loving times together, just like you two."
    With this idea in mind, we created a rental accommodation facility.

IAUD International Design Award 2020 Gold Award

  • ≪New arrival≫IAUD International Design Award 2020 Gold Award

    We have been promoting "universal design of Onsen Onsen inns" with the aim of "a Onsen Onsen inn where people with and without disabilities can stay together", but the efforts so far have been highly evaluated and domestically. We received the gold medal in the housing and construction category of the "IAUD International Design Award 2020" sponsored by the "International Universal Design Council", the largest UD promotion organization.
    (This is the first award for accommodation related to inns and hotels.)
    We would like to report here and thank all of you for your support.
    We will continue to make sincere efforts to live up to your trust.

    Judge's point of view:
    It is an attractive universal design.Not only is it barrier-free, it's a place where everyone can relax, and it's a moving example of tourism for everyone.
    Onsen are very important in Japanese culture, but previously they were not available to people with some physical restrictions.
    Naniwa Ryokan has made various efforts for a long time to provide an inclusive experience.This is a great example of what we have achieved as a result of our continuous efforts and learning from our users with a firm belief in the principles of universal design.
    (In addition to the commonly used notation of "universal", the notation of "universal" used by the International Council for Universal Design is also used in the text.)
