History

Our founder Kauemon Yano established a candle and oil shop called "Iseka Shoten" in the late Edo Period (the late 18th century). He served as a designated merchant for the Gifu magistrate’s office of the Tokugawa Shogunate and was reputed as one of the ten eminent figures of Gifu-machi at the end of the Edo Period.
Then, the fourth generation Yano, known for his elegant artistic taste, built a tea room and a Japanese garden at our present site in the late Meiji Period (the late 19th century). Utilizing this heritage, "Kourakusou" was initially established as a hotel and restaurant business, which was about 60 years ago. Since then, we have been maintaining the tea room and the 600-tsubo *garden that provide a quaint and gracious atmosphere. Currently serving as a Ryotei high-class Japanese restaurant, "Kourakusou" is proud to offer authentic Japanese cuisine while preserving a long tradition that dates back to the times of our founder, Kauemon Yano. *One tsubo is 3.3 square meters.
