Fujinoyu and Its AntiquesOur special focus is to ensure that our guests can enjoy the hot spring and a traditional ryokan inn.
About Fujinoyu
Fujinoyu was founded in 1832, making the current owner the 20th.
Items which pass on the local history welcome our guests, including relics related to Matsumoto Castle and other art items collected by our ancestors.
There are many things that we can do as a small ryokan.
Treasures passed from previous generations
Antique items that were handed down from our ancestors who were closely associated with the Matsumoto Castle lords are on display in various areas of the building.
This is the oldest existing picture map of Matsumoto Castle. It is a 300 year old historic document, as it was drawn in the early 1700s. Currently, a replica at a scale of 50% is on display.
Kogetsu Saigo’s Antique
Kogetsu Saigo (西郷孤月)
Kogetsu Saigo is a Japanese style painter who studied as one of the first students at the Tokyo School of the Arts. He was praised as one of the Best Four in the field of Japanese style painting.
In 2013, we took 6 items of Kogetsu Saigo to a popular TV show to be appraised.
All of the items were appraised as genuine, and their total value was estimated to be 20 million yen.
In the building, we display his works so as to compliment the four seasons.
