The first owner, Sangoro, moved to Hida from Ecchu Yatsuo (Yatsuo Town, Toyama Prefecture) and changed the name of the inn to Yatsusankan, from “Yatsuo” and “Sangoro”, meaning “three” in Japanese.
The three buildings, “Shougetsu-ro” built in 1905 and designated as a Tangible Cultural Property, “Kougetsu-ro” built in the early Showa period, and “Kangetsu-ro” built in 1997, are like a maze of buildings.
