In 1888, the first Prime Minister, Hirobumi Ito, granted the honour of being the first restaurant to be officially licensed to serve fugu (blowfish), and it has been more than 120 years since then. The hotel is a kappo-ryokan in Shimonoseki, overlooking the Kanmon Straits, a place of many historical changes.
On the top floor is a recreation of the Emperor's Room, where Emperor Showa and His Majesty the Emperor's Palace once stayed. The view of the Kanmon Straits allows guests to fully enjoy the beautiful scenery that is unique to this area.
At Shunpanro, fresh, high-quality blowfish landed from Karato Market are carefully selected by skilled artisans and prepared to the highest standards of chewiness and flavour.
Please enjoy the authentic Shimonoseki delicacies.
