> [!IMPORTANT] This was one of [Simon's](https://www.instagram.com/skwcheng) trip highlights. [Hanaya](https://www.instagram.com/hanaya.tsumago) is an inn in [[Cities/Tsumago-juku (妻籠宿)|Tsumago-juku (妻籠宿)]]. We stayed for one night on [[2024-09-29]] (departing on [[2024-09-30]]). ![[hanaya IMG_7347.png]] ![[hanaya IMG_0393.png]] The inn has an open lounge for people to hang out and relax. They also have a vending machine that includes alcoholic beverages. ![[hanaya IMG_0390.png]] There is also a section of the hotel highlighting local soccer/football teams, professional soccer/football pros who visited the inn, and some decor that highlights the longevity of the inn. The inn is more than 300 years old, and different parts of the inn are actually extensions added to the original structure. ![[hanaya IMG_7353.png]] ![[hanaya IMG_7352.png]] ![[hanaya IMG_0380.png]] Some rooms also add a view of this little garden courtyard. (Our room did not.) ![[hanaya IMG_0364.png]] Our room was simple. While we were awake, we had a table where we could sit and brew tea. At night, we would get [shikifuton (敷き布団)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futon) from a closet down the hall. ![[hanaya IMG_8379.png]] ![[hanaya IMG_8383.png]] The inn featured two communal dining halls. ![[hanaya IMG_0387.png]] ![[hanaya IMG_0375.png]] The inn served a set breakfast and dinner. ![[hanaya IMG_8399.png]] ![[hanaya IMG_8395.png]] ![[hanaya IMG_7356b.png]] In front of the inn, they had some seating available. ![[hanaya IMG_8406.png]] Outside the inn, they also provided food and shelter for local stray cats. ![[hanaya IMG_7372.png]] ![[hanaya IMG_7378.png]] ![[hanaya IMG_0366.png]] ![[hanaya IMG_0373.png]]
