After the Great Kita-Tajima Earthquake in 1925, this hotel, which stands out among the modern reinforced concrete buildings known as the 'Toyooka Reconstruction Architectural Group' built to revitalize the town, was originally designed as the 'Former Hyogo Prefecture Agricultural and Industrial Bank Toyooka Branch' by Setsu Watanabe, a renowned architect of Western-style buildings and a leading figure in Kansai architecture at the time. Balancing aesthetic beauty and functionality, the building incorporates Renaissance and Art Deco designs in its facade and entrance, along with simple yet nostalgic guest rooms reflecting the era, and a main hall featuring an open atrium where the bank's counters once stood. This beautifully preserved architectural masterpiece, rich in history and classic atmosphere, has been reborn as a boutique hotel with just six exclusive rooms. In addition to the six guest rooms, the hotel offers an exclusive guest lounge for a relaxing stay, where you can enjoy over 16 types of beverages, including beer, whiskey, liqueurs, and locally popular coffee, all available free of charge. Enjoy your stay in this iconic architectural gem, where you can reflect on the historical context of the time and the meticulous craftsmanship of the architect, while relaxing both your mind and body.
