Company information

We are an international IT startup. We build and operate Smart Hostels enabled by IT, AI, and IoT. In Oct. 2022, we renovated a 100-year-old traditional Japanese house into our 1st smart hostel, welcoming 1,000 guests monthly and building a community through the good communal kitchen.

Property information

Murasaki Ryokan is a smart hostel built in a 100-year-old traditional Japanese house. It was built in 1925 (Taisho period) as the home of the Murasaki family. It was remodeled in 1952 and operated by the Murasaki family as a traditional Japanese-style inn. It has been closed for several years for various reasons but has now been completely renovated and reopened as a smart hostel.
