We stayed at Seikiro in Miyazu. It was founded in the Genroku era (1690s), and the current building was built in the mid-1890s and is a registered tangible cultural property of the country. During the Edo period, painters of the Maruyama and Kano schools, and in the modern era, writers and poets such as Noguchi Ujo, Kikuchi Hiroshi, Yoshikawa Eiji, Kato Hekigoto, Yoshida Shigeru, and others stayed here, leaving behind paintings on the sliding doors and poems. However, recently, the facilities and equipment have not been updated and have become obsolete, customer service has deteriorated, there are few customers, and only a certain number of interested people are staying at the hotel, which seems to be a vicious cycle. I only saw three people: the landlady, a man who appeared to be her son, and the woman in charge of cooking. The paintings in the large hall on the third floor and the hallway on the second floor will turn on the lights when you talk to them, especially. Food left behind by the previous person was left in the refrigerator in the room, and large moths were flying around and making rustling noises in the middle of the night. The food was standard course but the meat was tough and difficult to chew. It has become an inn only for those who are interested in buildings and colored papers left behind by artists.
