Yasou Ritto
"The Luxury of
Innocence"
Deep in the forest, with the murmuring of the stream...
Come into view together
A house designed by architect Yoshiya Tanoue
Yasou Ritto (野荘 刂) quietly appears.
With the scent of trees and grass
Walking with the warmth of the earth beneath your feet.
Like fallen snow melting away
Gazing at the steam rising from a hot spring,
sipping newly-picked tea
A bird preening its feathers
Painting on a canvas from the edge of the veranda.
Aboard a ship in days gone by
Surrounded by the view that once held me in a trance
Awakening the sensation of sleep...
Resonate with the senses
Beyond the memories carried by the wind
In a sanctuary of peace
A day adrift, guided only by the heart.
It is the radical that represents the kanji for “knife” (刀).
Stripping away the unnecessary
A mark that highlights only the essence, Stripping away the unnecessary.
Here, nothing is added, nothing adorned.
A place to return to as you are.
The lines nature draws : Mountain ridgelines,
Flowing rivers, gently unravel the heart.
The beauty of simplicity and subtraction...
Experience the luxury of purity.

Yoshiya Tanoue, an architect and disciple of Frank Lloyd Wright who was active in Hokkaido from the Taisho to Showa periods, originally designed this house. It has now been renovated into a comfortable accommodation.
Nature and people. Japanese and Western. Light and shadow. Stillness and movement. The atmosphere of the past and warm bustle. And natural tranquility all blend together in this serene space.
The inn is surrounded by Shikotsu-Toya National Park, allowing you to experience the lush nature as if it were your own backyard.
