Seiryu-so | The True First Relais & Chateaux Member in Japan
šøšŗšæš Seiryu-so | The True First Relais & Chateaux Member in Japan šøšŗšæš In the video about "Visiting Japan's First Inn, Asaba-ryokan," šøšŗšæš I mentioned that Asaba-ryokan was the first ryokan to join Relais & Chateaux after its introduction in Japan. However, the true first to join was this establishment, 'Seiryu-so'. šøšŗšæš Unfortunately, due to later operational difficulties and a decline in standards, it was eventually removed from the list... šļøš 'Seiryu-so', established in Showa 12 (1937), is located in Shimoda City, šøšŗšæš Izu Peninsula, at the Rendai-ji Onsen. It once hosted the 39th President of the United States, Jimmy Carter, and has welcomed numerous famous guests from Japan and around the world, šøšŗšæš making it the most prestigious ryokan on the Izu Peninsula at the time. šÆš #SeiryuSo #RelaisChateaux #IzuPeninsula šøšŗšæš
