Ryokan Meiji is an inn with ties to the Showa-era literary giant Dazai Osamu, who visited twice to write. The hotel’s “Dazai Osamu Reference Room” displays photographs of his stay at the inn, first editions, letters and more, allowing you to quietly retrace the time he spent there. The museum also displays works and materials by his daughter, the writer Tsushima Yuko, allowing you to feel the connection to literature that transcends the ages. Please take a moment to quiet your mind and immerse yourself in literature during your travels.
