Concept / In preparationAnother place
to relax,
for the days ahead.
Membership & Second Life Club
Look out at nature, enjoy a meal and sometimes share a conversation. We are preparing a long-stay concept and membership club for seniors to spend time at their own pace, as if living here.
Peaceful Time Here
On days when you do something,
and days when you do nothing.
We are considering stays for people, mainly seniors who live independently, to enjoy relaxed time at the ryokan. Photos show the current ryokan and facilities. They do not guarantee specifications after renovation or provision as membership benefits.
Close to Nature and Animals
Seasonal walks and scenery with horses and animals. Interactions depend first on the animals' health and conditions on the day.
Time to Enjoy a Meal
We are considering stays that make use of the attached restaurant. Meal frequency, contents, prices and individual dietary arrangements will be announced later.
Take a Break in the Large Bath
Relax in a warm bath at the end of the day. Opening hours, facilities and conditions for use during a stay will be checked ahead of trial operation.
Long Stays for Seniors / LONG STAY
Start with a short stay.
Find a way of spending time that suits you.
For the spring 2027 trial operation, we plan to welcome a small number of guests using 4 guest rooms on the first floor.
2 nights / 3 days7 days14 daysUp to 30 days
From a short trial stay to long stays of up to 30 days. We are considering ways to combine meals, the large bath, social time, nature and animals.
These are stay examples under consideration, not new plans currently available to book. Room renovations, prices, and conditions for meals and individual services will be announced once decided.
Considering a Membership System
Visit, stay and connect.
Three Types of Membership.
The concept is to develop a membership club at a manageable scale, based on trial-operation results and your feedback. All of the following are under consideration and are not products for sale.
Long-Stay Membership
We are considering a ryokan-use system for those who wish to return regularly and stay as if living here.
Prices, permitted stay days, booking conditions, and specific rights and benefits are undecided.
Corporate Membership
We are considering a system for corporate and group welfare benefits, small-group stays and social activities.
Prices, eligible group sizes, conditions of use, and specific rights and benefits are undecided.
2026–2030 / The Road Ahead
Start small and develop with care.
We plan to prepare in stages in line with the Tengu no Chaya Medium- and Long-Term Renovation and New Business Plan 2026–2030.
Preparation & Renovation Planning
From 2026, we will review the use of guest rooms and common areas, arrangements for welcoming guests and the content of stays.
Trial Operation in Spring 2027
A small-scale operation using 4 rooms on the first floor is planned, focusing on assessing stays for seniors who live independently.
Take the Next Step Based on Results
In 2027–2030, we will consider renovations and expansion of the membership club in stages, based on usage and feedback.
The timing, content and scale of each stage may change according to preparations and the results of trial operation.
Before You Decide
Things You Should Know.
Is membership real-estate ownership or an investment product?
No. The membership under consideration is a system for using the ryokan, not acquiring real-estate ownership or a shared ownership interest. It is not an investment product and is not intended to generate yield, dividends or capital gains. Specific contract terms are undecided.
Can members always make a booking?
Membership does not guarantee every booking or use on your preferred dates. Restrictions include room numbers, availability, operating days and arrangements for welcoming guests. Conditions, including booking methods and whether priority use will apply, are undecided.
Are care or medical services provided?
This is a concept for stays at a ryokan, not a care or medical facility. It is being considered mainly for people who can live independently. It is not a system providing personal care, nursing, medical treatment or constant supervision. Please discuss any support or equipment needs in advance. Use of first-floor rooms does not mean the property is fully barrier-free.
Have prices and benefits been decided? Can I apply now?
Admission fees, membership fees, membership prices, accommodation and meal costs, and specific rights and benefits are all undecided. We are not currently recruiting members, selling memberships or collecting membership fees. Our existing LINE enquiry channel welcomes enquiries about early information. An enquiry alone does not create a contract or booking.
