— Stay as if you live here — About a 7-minute walk from the Hagi Castle Town. After a day of sightseeing, return to a quiet street and let the memories linger. This is a private, whole-house rental Accommodation limited to one group per day. This home was once a cherished place where family members living apart gathered every year. Carrying on that warmth, we have prepared it not as a “travel destination,” but as another place to call home. Wake up in bed with morning light streaming in, spend the day strolling through the castle town and Kikugahama Beach, and share stories at night in a tatami room. Rather than “touring” Hagi, stay in Hagi. Step away from your busy routine and enjoy the slow rhythm of castle-town life.

Built in 1604 by Terumoto Mori after the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600, Hagi flourished as a castle town. Walking through streets that still retain the atmosphere of those times, you can feel the presence of history in the stone walls, white plastered walls, and even in a passing breeze. Turning around, it feels as if over 400 years of history quietly lingers here. At its heart lies "Hagijo Sannomaru Hokumon Yashiki," the only Ryokan within the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Hagi Castle Town." Located on the site of the Yoshiki Mori Clan's Hagi Domain residence, it conveys to this day a harmony of Japanese elegance and Western sophistication.
