MARUYO HOTEL

In riverside Kuwana City, on the outskirts of greater Nagoya, next to the Shichiri no Watashi ferry crossing and its famous torii gate, is the historic Maruyo Hotel, built and operated by the fifth generation of a family whose lumber company once stood on this spot. Scarcely a hotel at all, the house is fully serviced, but is booked as a unit, sleeping up to four guests. Needless to say, it’s a labor of love, and displays a concern for artisanal craft that’s uncommon even among Japanese ryokan. With a mere two bedrooms it’s clearly not meant to dominate the local hospitality scene, but to provide an experience without equal elsewhere. European and Japanese influences harmoniously coexist, and the decoration includes a number of noteworthy artworks and antiques. Meanwhile the bedrooms are complemented by a lounge, a library, and a dining room, as well as a courtyard. Breakfast is served by Maruyo’s staff, and dinner is available via room service from one of a number of highly regarded local restaurants. It’s not for high-maintenance luxury-hotel guests, perhaps, but the independent-minded traveler will find nothing else like it. 1 Rooms Style: Traditional Elegance Atmosphere: Quiet
