Sennosuke Yamaguchi purchased an inn of long standing, Fujiya Ryokan, with the help of his foster father. He renamed Fujiya (the same pronunciation, but different kanji characters for "Mt. Fuji "). It was the first Western-style hotel in Japan. The hotel was built by workers from Yokohama. Unfortunately, the building was lost in a large fire in Miyanoshita in December, 1883.
