Yoritsuki has become iPhone application

Yoritsuki is a software application whose theme is that of a Japanese inn.
Guest room are richly imbued with Japanese atmosphere. The view changes completely with the turn of the four seasons.
As the seasons and daylight hours change, so do the background sounds and animations (birds, snow, fireflies and so on).
Choose your favorite shoji*. Slide it as you like to alter the view.
When you’re a bit tired, how about a little rest at Yoritsuki Inn?
Future upgrades will include additional shoji designs and other options.

* These are sliding windows and doors. As they permit the passage of light, they were widespread in times before glass windows. Even in modern times when glass windows and curtains are popular, shojis featuring modern designs or in combination with glass panes are seen in Japanese homes. They’re commonplace at Japanese hot-spring inns. If you have a chance to visit Japan, why not stay at a hot-spring inn?
