Seaside Inn Framing a Culinary Journey for Eyes and Palate
Recently renovated in November 2024, this soothing retreat is filled with a wish to showcase the charms of Fukui—from dinner and breakfast to the quiet moments spent in the room. Each dish is handmade with care, featuring the bounty of the Echizen Coast, local specialties, vegetables sourced from partner farms, and high-quality Fukui rice. The sashimi platters, including beautifully presented funamori, are especially praised for their freshness. In winter, the celebrated Echizen crab—king of the Echizen Sea—draws guests from across Japan. A stay here offers a chance to savor the essence of Fukui with both the eyes and palate.

Guest Room

Japanese-Western Rooms Boasting an Open and Private Space

This spacious 25-tatami Japanese-Western room features a washbasin and toilet, creating a comfortable setting. In winter, a kotatsu is placed in the room, adding to the private atmosphere. At night, semi-double tatami beds are prepared for rest.

"Fukui Room" Featuring a Dinosaur and Eyeglasses Theme

This 20-tatami guest room features motifs inspired by Sabae’s eyeglass craftsmanship and newly discovered dinosaurs. Durable shoji screens are used, creating a setting suitable for families with children. Room arrangements tailored to different styles, including families and couples, are also well received.

"Fukui Room Featuring a Dinosaur and Echizen Crab Theme

An eye-catching dinosaur artwork holding an "Echizen Crab" creates a striking feature that draws attention. This calm 22-tatami guest room offers generous space suited to a wide range of ages, with a layout that accommodates multigenerational families and group stays.

Cuisine

A Boat Platter Featuring an Abundance of Fresh Seafood

Cuisine highlights seasonal seafood from Echizen, where freshness and the chef’s knife work define the flavor. Sashimi draws many visitors who seek it out, and the dishes are also well-received by children who are not fond of seafood.

Crab Cuisine Awaited Each Year on the Opening Day

Crab delivered alive from Mikuni Port to the kitchen is prepared at peak freshness and quality, and many returning guests look forward to the start of the season. Popular options include a full course featuring boiled crab, sashimi, and grilled crab, as well as set menus served with boat-style sashimi platters.

Begin the Day With a Fukui Breakfast of Over Fifty Dishes

Breakfast presents regional flavors from Fukui, including miso soup with fried tofu and fresh wakame, grilled mackerel, and heshiko. Koshihikari rice delivered directly from local farmers is cooked in time for serving. A generous selection of vegetables is also included.

Facility

The citrus bath and the charcoal bath, renovated in October 2023, operate with a reservation sheet system where preferred times are recorded, allowing repeated use. The charcoal bath is equipped with handrails for easier access, while the citrus bath is supplied with a range of baby items.

Interior Spaces Shaped by Calm Japanese Design

Beyond the entrance, a Japanese-style space decorated with a kimono obi welcomes guests. Inside the property, distinctive wallpaper and dried flowers create a design that combines brightness with gentle warmth, forming a calm atmosphere removed from everyday bustle.

Garden Terrace Open to the Sound of Sea Breeze

Completed in July 2025, the outdoor garden terrace offers a space for conversation or tea while feeling the sea breeze. The area is designed to allow children to play freely. Morning and evening views unfold alongside the gentle wind from the sea.

The location offers convenient access for driving and sightseeing, with opportunities for seaside visits and winter views of sea foam along the shore. The Sea of Japan forms the surrounding coastal scenery.

"Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum" in the 'Dinosaur Kingdom'

The "Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum," which reopened in July 2023, is a notable attraction near the property. Guest rooms within the inn also feature dinosaur motifs, reflecting a theme connected with Fukui.
