About Araki Hotel

Philosophy of Tanegashima Araki Hotel

As the longest-standing inn welcoming travelers on Tanegashima,
we value the sense of security rooted in history and modern comfort.
Not extravagant, but sincere.
Not flashy, but clean and well-maintained.
And a hospitality with a comfortable sense of distance
that lets you feel the warmth of this town—

Now and always,
we continue to provide unchanging comfort and security in the port town of Tanegashima,
remaining a "base inn" that accompanies both travel and work.

The Appeal of Tanegashima Araki Hotel

You can watch the sunset over the East China Sea from the hotel.

The History of Tanegashima Araki Hotel

An inn that watches over history and lives in the present.

Tanegashima, the island where foreign ships first brought firearms and changed the course of Japanese history.
At the port town of Akaogi, its gateway, an inn has endured through the ages.

"Tanegashima Araki Hotel"
has built its history since the late Edo period, and continues to this day—

Walking alongside the lives of the people.

The warmth of the good old days still remains within the hotel.

The charm of the port, the streets dyed by the setting sun, and the heart that welcomes travelers.
Somehow nostalgic, yet dignified in its presence.

For travel and for work.
An inn that warmly accompanies you, no matter how times change.

— A hotel that has watched over Tanegashima since ancient times.

Since ancient times, embraced by the Kuroshio Current,
many travelers have arrived on this island as if guided by the wind.

Tanegashima, known as the land where firearms were introduced.
That news is said to have moved Japanese history and opened the door to civilization.

The castle town of Akaogi in the north of the island
once thrived as a port where trade and culture intersected,
and its traces still quietly linger today.

Rich resources and blessings of the earth,
and above all, an open heart that welcomes visitors.
That is why this island transformed from a "land of drift" to a "land of encounter."

And now, looking up at the sky, rockets launch into space,
continuing the dream once seen by the ships from the south.

From past to future—
Tanegashima is an island where "new beginnings" are born in every era.

The History of Tanegashima

An island that welcomes travelers
across the ages.
