Once the residence of a construction-company president.
True to its name, Anabuki-tei was originally a private family home. A spacious Japanese garden, a striking tenshukaku-style tower, and the “Anabuki” nameplate—its character remains vivid even after becoming a hotel. The first master of the house was Natsuji Anabuki, grandfather of the current owner, Eitaro Anabuki. Like those who helped rebuild postwar Takamatsu through the power of art, he devoted himself to restoration. Confronted with a city in ashes, Natsuji rose from a humble carpenter to found his own company, striving to restore everyday life through homebuilding.

Earning trust—and becoming a symbol of the city.
The residence was completed in 1970. The tower was not in the original plan, but was added with a simple intention: “When the president’s home is dignified, clients feel at ease.” It expressed both a wish to be trusted by the community and a resolve to put down roots here. From the start it stood out; in time it truly became a local landmark—a testament to Natsuji’s integrity and the trust he earned. The Anabuki Group would later grow into one of the leading enterprises in the Chugoku–Shikoku region.

A home where family memories reside.
For decades, generations of the Anabuki family lived together here—from Natsuji’s parents to his grandson, Eitaro. Relatives, friends, business partners, and neighbors often gathered, filling the home with lively warmth. After working for a Japanese company and gaining experience as a hotelier overseas, Eitaro returned to find the house unoccupied. “We cannot lose this place of so many memories,” he thought. Persuading his family, he decided to open Anabuki-tei as an exclusive-use, one-group-only hotel.
And now, a place to weave everyone’s memories.
A house where one family’s memories were made. A symbol that once welcomed many.
Even as a
one-group-only hotel, this home continues to welcome guests from around the world, offering
stays that feel intimate and deeply restful.
Eitaro personally operates the property as
owner-concierge, guiding every guest himself.
The building underwent a full renovation:
while
the original layout and atmosphere were preserved, discreetly integrated modern
comforts—including updated bathrooms and climate control—ensure a seamless stay.
Having
stood
with the city’s history and watched over four generations, Anabuki-tei now invites every visitor
to become part of its family.
