Overview

Tokai-kan is a hot spring inn founded in 1928 by Yasutaro Inaba, a lumber dealer. After the opening of the Ito Line, the number of group visitors increased, and the inn was expanded. It is said that different master carpenters were in charge of each floor and competed their skills. Although damaged by the Kano River Typhoon, it was repeatedly repaired and continued operations until 1997. After that, the building was donated to Ito City and is open to the public as a cultural facility. It is also a model for Mari Yamazaki's manga "Thermae Romae," making it an irresistible spot for fans of retro architecture.
