Historic Stay Along the Tokaido Fifty-Three Stations Route
This traditional Japanese inn near JR Okitsu Station is located in Okitsu-juku, the 17th post town along the historic Tokaido route, and has a long history dating back to the Edo period. After descending the Tokaido and crossing Satta Pass, the sea opens out ahead, and it is said that travelers were once drawn by the sound of the waves to fresh seafood. The karesansui-style garden "Goyomatsu," present since the inn’s founding, has witnessed this history, and its carefully maintained landscape creates a setting removed from everyday life. The atmosphere reflects traditional Japanese culture and evokes the spirit of the old post town, offering a place for an unhurried stay.

Guest Room

Japanese Room Accented by Seasonal Floral Arrangements

The interior presents a quiet, traditionally styled Japanese setting with tatami flooring and an alcove adorned with seasonal flowers. Verandas overlooking the garden and paper sliding screens contribute to a relaxed atmosphere, while some guest rooms offer views of the garden, and Suruga Bay extends just beyond the grounds.

Tea Room Dedicated to Relaxed Shizuoka Tea Tastings

Guest rooms with a tea room provide a setting for experiencing Shizuoka tea at a relaxed pace. The quiet space reflects not only the atmosphere of the Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido but also the character of Shizuoka, creating a calm environment where time can be spent unwinding with tea.

Shoji Screens Illustrated with Tokaido Travel Scenes

Several guest rooms feature sliding paper screens illustrated with scenes related to the Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido, including the sea, Mount Fuji, and views of Okitsu-juku, harmonizing with the scenery beyond the windows to deepen the traditional atmosphere. This setting creates a sense of travel while remaining indoors.

Cuisine

Kaiseki Dinner Featuring Bounty from Sea and Mountains

Kaiseki cuisine highlights seasonal ingredients from both land and sea, with the specialty "tilefish matsukasa-yaki" featuring scales opened like pinecones, creating a fragrant exterior that is crisp outside and tender within. The meal is presented alongside colorful appetizers, fresh sashimi, and seasonal simmered and steamed dishes.

Signature Dish "Okitsu Sea Bream Served Whole Grilled"

Okitsu sea bream from Suruga Bay is known for its firm texture and refined sweetness with rich flavor. Historically presented to shoguns and the imperial court, it has long been valued in the region. Served as a whole grilled dish, it offers an impressive presentation and a delicate taste suited to celebratory occasions.

Dining Area with Calm Semi Private Seating Layout

The dining area, newly established in February 2025, features a calm, semi-private room-style setting where refined cuisine is served. It accommodates up to 50 guests and supports a range of occasions, including seasonal kaiseki meals, banquets, and memorial gatherings, with thoughtfully prepared courses presented in table seating.

Traditional Breakfast Served with Warm and Comforting Dishes

A Japanese set meal featuring locally sourced ingredients from the sea and mountains is prepared with a focus on balance and gentle flavors. Small dishes such as grilled fish, Japanese salted pickles with seasonal vegetables, and Japanese omelet are carefully arranged and served with rice and miso soup, creating a calm start to the day, with the menu changing with the seasons.

Facility

Private Bath Providing Deep Relaxation After Travel

Two private baths, "Yunagi no Yu" and "Suiu no Yu," accommodate groups of four to five guests, allowing shared use among family or companions. Usage is arranged in 40-minute intervals from 4:00 P.M. to 11:00 P.M. and 30-minute intervals from 7:00 A.M. to 9:00 A.M. the following morning, with amenities provided for a comfortable experience.

Garden Creating Atmospheric Views Through Seasonal Changes

The karesansui-style garden "Goyomatsu," with a history of more than 100 years, and the "Garden of Seven Moons," marked by a large pine tree, create a setting rich in atmosphere, where rain-soaked surfaces illuminated by moonlight form a striking scene. The garden, viewed from the waiting room or lounge, offers a sense of separation from the passage of everyday time.
