Sabae, Fukui Prefecture, is known as “the city of glasses” and Sabae Megane House, a ryokan traditional Japanese inn, opened in April with about 100 pairs of eyeglasses thematically display throughout the building. Guests are invited to try them on.
The two-story wooden house has 11 rooms and can accommodate five to 14 people. Converted from a classic folk house, its atrium features eye-catching decorations made of eyeglasses related materials, which were placed to attract young people who like to post content on social media.
