Thinking at the Tatami Property The novel "Tabibito Misaki" was inspired by a stay at "Yunohamatei." Drawn by the crisp winter sunset, I decided to set the story in Toi. That Property transformed into one adorned entirely with tatami patterns. It became a fragrant, clean, and warm atmosphere. Listening to the sound of waves in the open-air tatami bath, I watched the fishing lights offshore. The Room's private spring bath reflected the moonlight, turning Suruga Bay into an illusory painting. I was overwhelmed by the unprecedented beauty and lost myself in the emotions of travel. If life is a journey, such tranquility would be ideal. At the "Tatami Property," travelers will surely feel the same. - Akira Sasakura (Author)
