    Weird Tales vol 11 number 06 (June 1928) - featured story: The Devil's Martyr by Signe Toksvig. Cover art by C. C. Senf. A man sits atop a black horse, looking down toward a woman lying on the ground. The horse is positioned in the center of the frame, angled toward the left, with its front legs raised in a rearing motion. The man wears a dark, charcoal-colored tunic with heavy folds, dark trousers, and a wide-brimmed black hat adorned with a single bright red feather. He holds the leather reins in one hand and a long, thin, silver-colored sword in the other, with the blade pointing slightly downward. The woman lies horizontally in the foreground, her head resting on the dark earth. She has long, wavy blonde hair that spreads across the ground, and she wears a light pink, sleeveless garment with thin spaghetti straps. Her eyes are open and directed upward toward the man. The background consists of dense, dark green and deep brown foliage, representing thick trees and tangled bushes, situated behind the horse and the man. The ground where the woman lies is composed of dark, moist-looking earth and small patches of bright green moss and grass. The color palette is dominated by the solid black of the horse, the dark, shadowed tones of the man's clothing, the pale, luminous pink of the woman's dress, and the various muted greens and earthy browns of the wooded setting.

It's a system for testing your thoughts against the universe and seeing whether they match. And this works, not just for the ordinary aspects of science, but for all of life. I should think people would want to know that what they know is truly what the universe is like, or at least as close as they can get to it."

                                    Ashiya: How to Visit Japan’s Most Exclusive Small Town

                                    Ashiya, a leafy enclave between Osaka and Kobe, carries a cachet no other Japanese town quite matches: old money, hillside mansions, and a refined Hanshin lifestyle. Here's what to enjoy there on your travels.

                                    <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Nestled between Osaka and Kobe, Ashiya is a place that many travelers pass by without a second thought. Trains speed by, carrying commuters and tourists between Kansai&#8217;s two biggest cities. Yet it has a unique reputation among those living in Japan.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">For most Japanese people, Ashiya is associated with hillside mansions, old money, and an elegant lifestyle that developed during the early 20th century. However, it&#8217;s not just a swanky resort for rich folk. It makes for a surprisingly scenic, less-traveled tourist spot, with striking architecture, literary history, and riverside walks.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Getting to and around Ashiya</h2> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img alt="Walkers on the paved banks of the Ashiya River in summer, with the green Rokko Mountains behind the town." class="wp-image-94240" height="682" src="https://media.unseen-japan.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/pixta_126681780_M-1024x682.jpg" width="1024" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Picture: <a href="https://creator.pixta.jp/@reggaeman">くろうさぎ</a>&nbsp;/ PIXTA(ピクスタ)</figcaption></figure> </div> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can find Ashiya in Hyogo Prefecture&#8217;s Hanshin region, stretching from the slopes of the Rokko Mountains down to Osaka Bay. The Ashiya River runs through the center of the city, dividing it from north to south.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Despite its reputation for exclusivity, getting there is surprisingly easy. JR Ashiya Station sits on the Kobe Line where loads of trains come through. Whether you&#8217;re departing from Osaka Station or Sannomiya in central Kobe, the trip takes roughly ten minutes.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">The city has two more train stations on top of that, making travel via public transportation ridiculously easy. The area is also relatively small and <a href="https://unseen-japan.com/inbound-tourism-7-prefectures-concentrated/">not crowded with tourists</a>, making walking a viable option between stations. So, you don&#8217;t have to break the bank on a rental or taxis.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Hanshinkan Modernism and Ashiya&#8217;s early beginnings</h2> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ashiya&#8217;s reputation as an upscale landmark dates back more than a century. After the Great Kanto Earthquake devastated Tokyo in 1923, many wealthy families and business leaders looked westward to rebuild.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">As a result, many merchants and cultural figures ended up building villas and settling down in the Hanshin region between Osaka and Kobe. After that, local culture and lifestyle, not just architecture, took on a life of their own, <a href="https://unseen-japan.com/mobo-moga-modern-girl-taisho/">blending Japanese tradition with Western influences</a> into the 1930s.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">This period became known as &#8220;Hanshinkan Modernism&#8221; (阪神間モダニズム). Ashiya was right at the heart of it, so visiting here is like getting a personal peek into a lesser-known side of Japanese history.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Yodoko Guest House: a must-visit for architecture enthusiasts</h2> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img alt="Inside the Yodoko Guest House: Frank Lloyd Wright's carved Oya-stone fireplace, green copper inlays, and built-in seating." class="wp-image-94249" height="1024" src="https://media.unseen-japan.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/yodoko-guest-house-ashiya-interior-819x1024.jpg" width="819" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Picture: Finbarr Fallon / Alamy Stock Photo</figcaption></figure> </div> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">To get a feel for Ashiya, the first place you&#8217;ll want to go is the <a href="https://www.yodoko-geihinkan.jp/about/flw/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Yodoko Guest House</a>. The famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright designed this hillside villa for Yamamura Tazaemon, a sake brewer. After he returned to the United States, his Japanese associates, Endo Arata and Minami Shin, completed the project in 1924.<br /><br />Today, the building is the only surviving Wright-designed residence in Japan that remains largely in its original form.

                                    Alt...<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Nestled between Osaka and Kobe, Ashiya is a place that many travelers pass by without a second thought. Trains speed by, carrying commuters and tourists between Kansai&#8217;s two biggest cities. Yet it has a unique reputation among those living in Japan.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">For most Japanese people, Ashiya is associated with hillside mansions, old money, and an elegant lifestyle that developed during the early 20th century. However, it&#8217;s not just a swanky resort for rich folk. It makes for a surprisingly scenic, less-traveled tourist spot, with striking architecture, literary history, and riverside walks.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Getting to and around Ashiya</h2> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img alt="Walkers on the paved banks of the Ashiya River in summer, with the green Rokko Mountains behind the town." class="wp-image-94240" height="682" src="https://media.unseen-japan.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/pixta_126681780_M-1024x682.jpg" width="1024" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Picture: <a href="https://creator.pixta.jp/@reggaeman">くろうさぎ</a>&nbsp;/ PIXTA(ピクスタ)</figcaption></figure> </div> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can find Ashiya in Hyogo Prefecture&#8217;s Hanshin region, stretching from the slopes of the Rokko Mountains down to Osaka Bay. The Ashiya River runs through the center of the city, dividing it from north to south.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Despite its reputation for exclusivity, getting there is surprisingly easy. JR Ashiya Station sits on the Kobe Line where loads of trains come through. Whether you&#8217;re departing from Osaka Station or Sannomiya in central Kobe, the trip takes roughly ten minutes.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">The city has two more train stations on top of that, making travel via public transportation ridiculously easy. The area is also relatively small and <a href="https://unseen-japan.com/inbound-tourism-7-prefectures-concentrated/">not crowded with tourists</a>, making walking a viable option between stations. So, you don&#8217;t have to break the bank on a rental or taxis.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Hanshinkan Modernism and Ashiya&#8217;s early beginnings</h2> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ashiya&#8217;s reputation as an upscale landmark dates back more than a century. After the Great Kanto Earthquake devastated Tokyo in 1923, many wealthy families and business leaders looked westward to rebuild.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">As a result, many merchants and cultural figures ended up building villas and settling down in the Hanshin region between Osaka and Kobe. After that, local culture and lifestyle, not just architecture, took on a life of their own, <a href="https://unseen-japan.com/mobo-moga-modern-girl-taisho/">blending Japanese tradition with Western influences</a> into the 1930s.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">This period became known as &#8220;Hanshinkan Modernism&#8221; (阪神間モダニズム). Ashiya was right at the heart of it, so visiting here is like getting a personal peek into a lesser-known side of Japanese history.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Yodoko Guest House: a must-visit for architecture enthusiasts</h2> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img alt="Inside the Yodoko Guest House: Frank Lloyd Wright's carved Oya-stone fireplace, green copper inlays, and built-in seating." class="wp-image-94249" height="1024" src="https://media.unseen-japan.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/yodoko-guest-house-ashiya-interior-819x1024.jpg" width="819" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Picture: Finbarr Fallon / Alamy Stock Photo</figcaption></figure> </div> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">To get a feel for Ashiya, the first place you&#8217;ll want to go is the <a href="https://www.yodoko-geihinkan.jp/about/flw/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Yodoko Guest House</a>. The famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright designed this hillside villa for Yamamura Tazaemon, a sake brewer. After he returned to the United States, his Japanese associates, Endo Arata and Minami Shin, completed the project in 1924.<br /><br />Today, the building is the only surviving Wright-designed residence in Japan that remains largely in its original form. (<a href="https://unseen-japan.com/meiji-mura-a-journey-to-japans-modern-past/">The Imperial Hotel</a> is another by Wright, though it&#8217;s seen some changes over the years.)
