Thanks Kurt!. When you said the inn was no longer there, before, I assumed you meant it was torn down. Nice to see it's still standing. Anyone interested in Japanese history should read Japanese Inn, as well as its companion, Japanese Pilgrimage. My copy of the latter was printed in Japan. They are both well written and Statler is always a good read. He came to Japan as a civilian employee of the U.S. Army at the end of the war. Statler was also quite the collector of Japanese woodblock prints.
I read that book!
Thanks for showing the inn.

@blackhat2005 He said it's not an inn anymore. It's some sort of business.

Oh, I've got that book. A few years ago I tried to look at the town through Google in hopes of finding it but no dice.
