Retained in immaculate, but tired, original condition Hotel Tokoen offers travellers the opportunity to step back in time. It's like nothing I've ever seen, a true faded glory,Architect, Kiyonori Kikutake's 1964 design is absolutely intact ...right down to the light fittings, joinery and (sometimes threadbare, but freshly vacuumed) carpets. The hotel is impeccably clean, but no money has been spend on its upkeep - except perhaps on fresh tatami mats, WC's and shower fittings. Right on the beachfront it clearly draws mainly local tourists, but for western travellers interested in mid-Century design it's a MUST-SEE. The rooms are huge (ours faced the ocean and had a screened entry and beachfront vestibule in addition to the large room) and the bathrooms are big and well-fitted. Common spaces are wonderfully tatty, I was told the onsen was fantastic...you can even go up to the rooftop for an amazing view. PLEASE STAY IN THIS FADED BEAUTY AND KEEP HER ALIVE FOR GENERATIONS TO COME!
