    Wonderful location in the city as it is pretty much in the center and walking distance to most attractions. Quite a big ryokan if you haven't been to one before, very beautiful.

    Insanely good value. Cheapest stay of the trip and we stayed in a beautiful and well preserved Japanese style room. Staff was very nice and helpful and the historic old town is a short walk away.

    Staff are amazingly friendly and welcoming. The hostel is in an amazing space, the house is a great setting. Loved the fire pit room and the extremely well equipped kitchen. Private room was great and the futons were extremely comfortable.

Company info

We are an international IT startup. We build and operate Smart Hostels enabled by IT, AI, and IoT. In Oct. 2022, we renovated a 100-year-old traditional Japanese house into our 1st smart hostel, welcoming 1,000 guests monthly and building a community through the good communal kitchen.

Property info

Murasaki Ryokan is a smart hostel built in a 100-year-old traditional Japanese house. It was built in 1925 (Taisho period) as the home of the Murasaki family. It was remodeled in 1952 and operated by the Murasaki family as a traditional Japanese-style inn. It has been closed for several years for various reasons but has now been completely renovated and reopened as a smart hostel.
