Welcome to Japan!
Welcome to YACHIYO web site!!
YACHIYO is an old‐fashioned Japanese-style restaurant of the type that
is almost disappearing from Japan today. Once upon a time in Japan, a classy
eating-house "Kappou-Restaurant" had usually accommodations or
its facilities. Be well known, "Kappou" is a Restaurant where
Kaiseki cuisine is served. It is sometimes called "Ryotei". 
Dinner or Party in such a Restaurant was often held till late at night.
Guests drank very good Sake while ate special cuisine with great Gusto.
And they enjoyed the show by clown ( Houkan, Taikomochi, male geisha )
or entertainment by Geisha girls. Therefore, "Futon-bedding"
for guests was necessary!
Time passes quickly. Now, a high-grade Restaurant in Japan has accommodations
for guests hardly. After WWⅡ, the relation law was Changed. 
Because one License to run "Kappou-Restaurant" and "Ryokan-Hotel"
became not the Same. Many a Restaurant made alterations of own business.
The Restaurant which was specialized at "eating-house" got not
to have accommodations for guests.
By the way YACHIYO? We decided to acquire 2 licenses. That is to say, we
are running both of "Kappou-Restaurant" and "Ryokan-Hotel"
in one building. Foundation 1921.
It is 89 years ( 1921 - 2010 ) since YACHIYO was founded. The founder Kikujiro
had started a eating-house YACHIYO in Matsusaka Park. The Park is indeed
Ruins Matsusaka Castel.

This old map is the Matsusaka street map which was made in Taisho year
9th ( 1920 ).
When YACHIYO foundation was 1921, we were hearing at second hand from Kikujiro's
wife. But... ? ? ? 1921? 1920? Before?
Because our family record had disappeared with WWⅡ, we don't have the means
of verifying.
In the Taisho period, there was Yachiyo next to "Fuji-dana"(
wisteria trellis ). In 1929 ( Showa year 4th ), Yachiyo moved to Tonomachi,
the current address.
These photograph were taken in 1960 ( Showa year 35th ). At the time, this
building was used as the municipal management wedding hall "Suzunoya-kaikan".
