Registered Tangible Cultural Property

Immerse yourself in history and liberation at Kiya Ryokan

Founded in 1911 (Meiji 44). Notable guests included politician Shinpei Goto, Prime Minister Tsuyoshi Inukai, and authors Ryotaro Shiba, Akira Yoshimura, and Hiroyuki Itsuki, as well as linguist Haruhiko Kindaichi.

A two-story wooden building that retains the atmosphere of a Meiji-era inn. It sadly closed its doors in 1995 (Heisei 7).

After lying dormant for many years, it was reborn in the spring of 2012 (Heisei 24) as a new type of accommodation and tourist attraction.

Refined beauty and a space filled with freedom.

Kiya Ryokan is a long-established inn that retains the charm of Uwajima's castle town, and is a Registered Tangible Cultural Property.

Enjoy the luxury of being left undisturbed, surrounded by thoughtful details designed to spark your curiosity throughout your stay. Limited to just one group per day, you have the entire building to yourself to enjoy with complete freedom.

A space woven with history and design.

In revitalizing Kiya Ryokan, we preserved the charm of its traditional craftsmanship while incorporating bold, new designs into the interior.

Replacing parts of the second-floor tatami with acrylic panels has transformed the room into a space where history and modern design fuse, transcending mere preservation.
