Ginsetsukan

Ginsetsukan is an inn that is the home of the Takatsukasa family. Some translations simply spell the name as Ginsetsu, since the “-kan” suffix is from the word “ryokan”, which simply refers to the type of establishment that Ginsetsu is: a traditional Japanese inn.

Although Takatsukasa Chihiro says that it is a small inn, it appears to be rather large. The Takatsukasa family’s clientele is mostly female, mainly because of their physical attractiveness. Ginsetsu was used as a shooting location for the filming of the TV adaptation of the Mizuki series.It has many rivals, including the Kinsui Hotel, which is owned by Chihiro’s lover Shinnouji, and the Kanamizu Hotel, which Yukito Shiba appears to have some connection with; he gets to stay there for free.
