About Ryouriyado Yamazaki Japanese inn
Ryouriyado Yamazaki is a Japanese inn located in Echizen town, Fukui prefecture, Japan. The former reinforced concrete building was replaced by a wooden structure. A robust private house built about 120 years ago in the same Hokuriku area was relocated and revived as the main building. Existing fittings and interior materials were reused to keep the historic atmosphere intact. Wood, stucco and reclaimed wooden fittings were applied by traditional craftsmen. The two-storey inn is designed to harmonize with the severe coastal climate.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- The request was to change the RC inn to a wooden structure.
So, we relocated the robust old private house from the same Hokuriku area and revived. This plan was consistent with the owner's concept. This stately private house built 120 years ago was too large to be a general house, but it became the characteristic building as the accommodation facility by reusing.
We also reused all the fittings and interior materials that had been used before not to hurt the atmosphere of the historic house. - Dimensions & Packaging

- Production Technology
- We used materials that Japanese people have valued since ancient times, such as wood, stucco and reused wood fittings. Also, by the technique of craftsmen who have been supporting traditional Japanese beauty and relaxation in the space.
- Design Challenge
- Using heavy old materials and old fittings heavily, gave us a hard time harmonize with new materials. Another is adding a calm texture and composure into new materials as if they worn-out are.
- Research
- This place is known as the wild ocean, so we decided to harmonize with this severe climate and bring the strength of the old private house structure in the fore.
We also reused all the fittings and interior materials that had been used before not to hurt the atmosphere of the historic house.
As a result, we can feel guest satisfaction beyond our expectation. The dynamic composition by the internal old woods astonishes visitors. - Inspiration
