This vintage ryokan, also known as Chikuto Inn and Restaurant, presents an exceptional investment opportunity. Nestled completely on the beach in northern Hyogo prefecture, this property was built in the early years of Japan's empire (Meiji period). It originally served as a modest storage facility for local fishermen. During the Showa period, a magnificent high-end ryokan was established in the building.

 

The Chikuto Inn and Restaurant held a special place in the hearts of countless visitors since the 1960s, evoking fond summer memories. It gained popularity due to its exquisite cuisine featuring locally sourced crab, attracting affluent guests who arrived via private jets to savour the culinary delights and immerse themselves in the breathtaking natural surroundings.
