  • I have noticed that the stairs in some of the video's are very narrow and steep...it this normal for newer construction?

  • @clicker12000

    Yes.

  • That is a really nice place with lots of pretty woodwork and art work on the doors. I have always enjoyed going into old houses, buildings and things because they have something that new ones don't have it's called nostalgia. I like the smell of old wood in old buildings too.

  • @cloudstrifeification

    Me too!

    Have a look at my play list that has the ninja house, the 400 year old castle and the old village!

  • I've always loved how Japanese culture manages to combine utilitarian simplicity so seamlessly with intricate beauty. The Japanese reverence of nature is evident in the theme of each room- that sakura trunk, the many large windows to allow sunlight in, the images of blossoming cherry trees on the sliding doors and the shadow-casting woodcarvings. Thanks for sharing this great piece of architecture.

  • the carvings are amazing!!!!

  • Those steep stairs are a menace with the plastic slippers they give you. I always slip mine off to go up and down not to risk falling.. There's hardly enough space to put your foot I guess Japanese have small feet.

  • I am hoping to go to Japan with the good lady April or perhaps September of 2012 and I wondering about accommodation prices. So here goes:

    * Are Ryokan cheaper than business hotels?

    * What is the difference between Ryokan & Minshuku?

    Can anyone assist?

  • It's so pretty

  • nice very, i need 2 stay there sometime.

  • OMG the Inn is sooo beautiful

  • wow, beautiful...

  • Amazing. Love those old Japanese houses. Nothing better than being closer to Ancient Japan.
