A Variety of Exquisite Dishes Celebrating Seasonal Flavors and Colors

A formal Japanese inn located in Ibusuki Onsen that has a reputation for its cuisine. Ranked No.1 for 40 consecutive years in the Dish category, which comprehensively evaluates food, including menu, tableware, taste, and presentation, in the "100 Japanese Hotels and Ryokan Selected by Professionals" sponsored by a tourism and travel industry magazine. The seasonal kaiseki cuisine, which incorporates local fish such as yellowtail and amberjack, as well as Kagoshima ingredients, is truly exquisite. Breakfast includes dishes made with seasonal local produce. Kagoshima flavors such as fish cakes and satsuma soup are also popular. Meals are served in your room or in a completely private room.
