Looks very elegant. If things don't work out, you can start a ryokan! I recently discovered that Inba-numa has historical significance. Tadakuni Mizuno, who was a Roju in the late 1700's and effectively controlled the shogunate for many years, tried to drain the swamp and create a canal. He was losing popularity because of his corruption, and he thought public works would burnish his image. (Hmmm. . .sounds familiar.) After several floods and failures, he lost his job. . .
