About us
Founded in 1918 Ryokan “Morigen”
Thank you very much for visiting our website. In 1918 (Taisho 7), our first owner, Gennosuke Moriyama, founded a small restaurant, naming it “Morigen.” Later, it operated as a ryokan (traditional Japanese inn) with a restaurant. Then, in 1927 (Showa 2), the building was destroyed by fire in the Tango Great Earthquake, and it was relocated to its current location. Thanks to the benefits of the local industry, “Tango Chirimen” (Tango silk crepe), we have been able to reach where we are today thanks to the great patronage of not only the local community but also customers from all over Japan and the world.

facing the beautiful sea of japan.
Kyotango City in Kyoto Prefecture is located at 135 degrees east longitude, the northernmost point of the Japan Standard Time meridian, and is a secluded retreat of Kyoto facing the Sea of Japan. Surrounded by crystal-clear waters and beautiful nature that changes its appearance with the seasons, this town is the perfect place to relax and spend precious time with your loved ones.
As mentioned earlier, our inn is a small, over 100-year-old building that has been passed down from my great-grandfather’s generation. Currently, we are run by a small staff, so we do not accept large groups. We welcome couples, married couples, families, and other small groups who wish to spend their time at a leisurely pace. We value a peaceful stay where you can enjoy doing nothing, rather than being rushed through your travels.
Our hotel offers two types of pricing plan.
Our inn primarily offers two plans: “room only” and “with breakfast,”
designed to allow you to enjoy your trip at your own pace.
For dinner, you can enjoy an à la carte menu at our in-house restaurant (details are available on other pages).
