Matsuya Ryokan, standing along the coastline overlooking the beautiful Uwa Sea in Akahama, Seiyo City, is a traditional long-established老舗 inn boasting a long history continuing from the Edo period, having historically welcomed many travelers and trading merchants warmly. The heavy wooden building conveys the emotions of a good old Japanese fisherman's town to this day, and stepping inside deeply heals your heart with a nostalgia as if returning to one's parents' home and warm hospitality. The greatest charm is the traditional regional cuisine luxuriously using fresh, firm seafood caught just moments ago in the Uwa Sea before your eyes. Retaining the un-commercialized, natural rustic life of a Japanese seaside, it stands as a supreme hideaway for international travelers wanting to enjoy exquisite gastronomy and silence.
