A luxury hotel where you can experience the beauty of ancient Japan<\/h2>\n\n

About a three\u2011minute walk from JR Ochanomizu Station, it reopened in 2014 as a Japanese\u2011style suite hotel with only nine rooms. The guest room design concept is \u201cTokyo\u2011style Japanese aesthetics.\u201d The interiors feature elements preserved from the time of its founding, such as shoji screens, and ultramarine carpets in traditional Edo colors, creating an atmosphere filled with classic Japanese beauty. Another highlight is that every room is equipped with a Shigaraki\u2011ware ceramic bath, whose rough texture surprisingly fits the back comfortably and soothes the fatigue of the day. On the second floor, the library lounge offers a curated selection of books chosen by a book coordinator, allowing guests to relax with a drink. Breakfast at the restaurant \u201cRESTAURANT 1899 OCHANOMIZU,\u201d themed around tea and Japanese cuisine, is also well regarded, and the restaurant is available for lunch, tea time, and dinner as well.<\/p>\n\n

History<\/h3>\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

Founded in 1899 by the first-generation Uhei Hamada as a branch of the Naguraya Ryokan, which had operated since the Edo period in Nihonbashi Muromachi, the original \u201cRyokan Ryumeikan Main Branch\u201d opened in Minami-Kogacho, Kanda Ward (now Kanda Surugadai, Chiyoda Ward). At that time, Ryumeikan was a two\u2011story Japanese\u2011style inn with all rooms facing the garden. A Western\u2011style building was also constructed in one corner of the garden, serving Western cuisine, which was still rare at the time. Its forward\u2011thinking approach and refined design earned high praise and made it beloved by many cultural figures. After surviving the Great Kanto Earthquake and World War II, it was rebuilt and renamed \u201cHotel Ryumeikan Ochanomizu Honten\u201d in 2014. All nine rooms were renovated into suites designed with international guests in mind. Together with its branch near Tokyo Station, \u201cHotel Ryumeikan Tokyo,\u201d it has also been featured in the Michelin Guide.<\/p>\n\n
