Akitaya (明田屋, Akitaya?) is a historic inn.
Description[]
The inn is located in the corner of the downtown area of the Imperial Capital, along buildings of major companies and famous shops that have been passed down from generation to generation. This historic inn has been in business since the early Shogun period and is famous for its long history in the capital. It is also a high-end accommodation facility frequented by celebrities and wealthy people from all walks of life.[1]
By going around from the main road to the depths of a side road, one can reach the majestic main entrance. The inn is a two-story wooden building. After crossing the gate, a beautiful and carefully maintained garden comes into view. Huge lanterns with the word AKEDAYA is written on them can be seen everywhere. From the main entrance, stepping stones lead to the entrance, which is an old-looking dark brown wooden door with a glass window embedded in it.[1]
The inn has a corridor that leads to an atrium. Across the atrium lies the building of an isolated cabin. This cabin basically only accommodates one group of guests. In other words, it is equivalent to a private house. If you want to book a private accommodation in this high-end inn, you need to have considerable financial resources. In addition to being used by only a handful of powerful people, this cabin also has the most privacy in the entire capital. In the cabin, there is a Japanese-style living room, a bedroom and a reception room. The reception room is well-lit and faces the courtyard. It is not made of tatami mats, but dark brown wood floors. With a stylishly carved table, four rattan chairs, vine-patterned wallpaper, and even a heater, the overall feel is a Western-style room. The garden surrounding the cabin is planted with pine trees.[1]
The inn is owned by a female middle-aged innkeeper.[1]
