    I liked how clean the hostel was. Sleeping on the tatami mats was very comfortable. It was good that we could open the windows and even turn off the air conditioning at night. It was very quiet.

    Easy location. Close to old city and 15min walk to station. Bathrooms are fine. Sleeping mats were thicker than most. And after using blankets for more support was best of the trip.

We are an international IT startup. We build and operate Smart Hostels enabled by IT, AI, and IoT. In Oct. 2022, we renovated a 100-year-old traditional Japanese house into our 1st smart hostel, welcoming 1,000 guests monthly and building a community through the good communal kitchen.

Property information

Murasaki Ryokan is a smart hostel built in a 100-year-old traditional Japanese house. It was built in 1925 (Taisho period) as the home of the Murasaki family. It was remodeled in 1952 and operated by the Murasaki family as a traditional Japanese-style inn. It has been closed for several years for various reasons but has now been completely renovated and reopened as a smart hostel.
