Japanese Inn

<span>The beguiling story of the Minaguchi-ya, an ancient inn on the 
Tokaido Road, founded on the eve of the establishment of the Tokugawa 
shogunate. Travelers and guests flow into and past the inn―warriors on 
the march, lovers fleeing to a new life, pilgrims on their merry 
expeditions, great men going to and from the capital. The story of the 
Minaguchi-ya is a social history of Japan through 400 years, a ringside 
seat to some of the most stirring events of a stirring period.</span>
