Shunpanro Overview

Founded in 1888 and recognized as one of the oldest Japanese inns named after the first Prime Minister of Japan, Hirobumi Ito, Shunpanro is rich in history. It became the first authorized restaurant to serve fugu and hosted the signing of the Treaty of Shimonoseki in 1895.
With its renowned location overlooking the historical Kanmon Straits, the main restaurant continues to serve as a prestigious guesthouse in Shimonoseki, delighting guests with its delectable fugu dishes amid breathtaking views.
Today, Shunpanro has expanded with branches in Osaka and Tokyo, offering authentic flavors from Shimonoseki in a convenient setting.
