The Golden Mane is the best of Ikoma's Eye's inns and guesthouses. Twenty rooms provide all of the comforts of contemporary living, with in-room breakfast served daily. There is also a common room and several small private dining areas that serve as a little restaurant, perfect for quiet meetings away from the bustle of the castle grounds.

The Inn of the Golden Mane is run by Nobuko, a woman of high calibre, and her family. It is said that their samurai patron prefers to remain anonymous, but everyone in town knows that the Inn is backed with Lord Ikoma's money, and that he receives a healthy cut of the revenue.
