As the name Ryumeikan suggests, its predecessor was an inn.
It began in 1899 (Meiji 32) as Ryokan Ryumeikan Honten, a branch of the former Naguraya Ryokan that had been in operation since the Edo period, in Muromachi, Nihonbashi, just up Kannonzaka in Kanda Surugadai from Awaji-cho. At that time, famous writers and artists such as Yumeji Takehisa, Manshu Kawamura, and Shinsui Ito used it as a regular lodging, and it was also described in author Fumi Koda's masterpiece ``Flowing.'' However, the Gofukubashi branch and the main branch, Nagura Ryokan, were destroyed by air raids, and Nagura Ryokan went out of business, but Ryumeikan was revived after the war.
The main store was rebuilt in a building in 1976 (currently ``Hotel Ryumeikan Ochanomizu Main Store''), and ``Hotel Yaesu Ryumeikan'' was rebuilt in 2009 as ``Hotel Ryumeikan Tokyo'' with 135 rooms.

All of the premium suites, which are over 70 square meters in size, are luxurious and are recommended for those who want to spend an elegant time.
The Japanese-Western style rooms with tatami mats are popular with both foreign tourists and families. I was surprised to find that some of the Japanese and Western rooms have a tea room attached.
As you can see from the website of Hotel Ryumeikan Tokyo, you will be surprised by the variety of room types available. There are a total of 135 rooms, with 12 types of rooms available. The flexibility of being able to choose the type of room you want depending on the number of people and purpose of your trip, such as suite, deluxe twin, Japanese-Western room, forus double, standard, and connecting rooms, is a true ryokan concept. The four Japanese-Western rooms are popular among families and foreigners as you can also sleep on futons. This Japanese-Western room has the essence of Japan, with original artwork used as lintels from the inn era used as decorations.

In addition, all customer requests are converted into data so that the customer's wishes will be met the next time they stay. It is this small consideration and concern that will lead to people wanting to stay again. This can be said to be the essence of a historic and prestigious ryokan.
