The members of this group are 14 ryokans whose owners study from and
give advises to each other, and aim at higher goals hand in hand.
Dr. Hisashi Kashiwai, a dentist in Kyoto and a renowned writer, is our counselor.
We get together once in a while. Around a table we discuss intensively , and
from this conversation, we get small and big ideas to make our ryokans
better. We are life-time rivals and also respectable friends. Honestly
speaking, it is quite hard trying not to drop out.
We mutually admit that the fourteen ryokans of this group are all
individualistic and exquisite ryokans.
When you are in Japan, don't you want to experience "things Japanese"? Then
please come to us to find Japan.
