Historic inn along Tokaido road shut after 366 years in business

Kazuhiro Aoki, the 19th-generation owner of the historic Japanese inn Ohashiya in Toyokawa, Aichi Prefecture, central Japan, stands at the entrance to the time-honored inn on March 15, 2015, the day its 366-year business came to an end. Ohashiya is best known for being featured in the famous "ukiyoe" woodprint work of "The Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido" by Utagawa Hiroshige in the early 19th century. The inn will be donated to the city government for preservation. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
