Another Kyoto by the sea: Tango

In Japan, where a beautiful culture of appreciating rain has endured since ancient times, Tango is a coastal region that—unlike the old capital—has long lived in harmony with the sea and its bounty. Spend time savoring its rich nature and the changing seasons to your heart’s content. About 2.5 hours from Kyoto City. One hour to Ine’s Funaya boat houses. In Tango, a place that can truly be called secluded, cherish the rain and sink into quiet serenity. Ujo Soan is an adults-only retreat where time flows gently. Unwind as you shelter from the rain in five private detached villas, each with an open-air bath, and in the special villa “Zuiu.”

  • From arrival to departure, the staff treated us with great care, and we had a very pleasant stay. The service was impeccable.The Room retains the charm of a traditional Japanese house while offering a calm, spacious layout for relaxing. In addition to the deck, there is also an area with a sofa where you can sit and take in the outdoor scenery at your leisure, which made it easy to unwind. Unfortunately, it rained quite heavily during our stay, so we couldn’t enjoy the deck as much as we had hoped.The Onsen was also wonderful—you can soak in free-flowing natural hot spring water whenever you like. The bathtub was spacious enough to relax and fully enjoy the Onsen. There is a separate shower room in front of the bathing area as well, which made it convenient to wash before getting into the tub.What left the strongest impression on us in particular was the cuisine. Fresh seafood was used generously, and every dish was absolutely delicious.Although we weren’t blessed with good weather this time and couldn’t see the sunset we had been looking forward to, we still thoroughly enjoyed simply spending time at this Accommodation. Being able to relax so comfortably even on a rainy day may be something unique to Ujo Soan.We were highly satisfied with everything—service, Room, Onsen, and meals—and it’s an Accommodation we would love to visit again.

  • This was our third stay—before COVID, during the pandemic, and now. My husband and I visit an Onsen somewhere in Japan every other month, but whenever we stay elsewhere, we always end up comparing it to this Accommodation. This time we debated staying two nights; we spent the first night in Yumura and the second night here, but I truly regret not staying both nights here.The Room attendant who looked after us last time was full of hospitality, and we were so happy to see her again. Thanks to her, we had a wonderful time.This Accommodation does show some age, but it seems they have been making small improvements throughout, and many things felt more convenient than on our previous stay. You can also use the top-floor lounge at their adjacent group Hotel and enjoy a specially blended aromatherapy massage in the massage room. It rained nonstop during our visit, but on a rainy day it was incredibly relaxing to skip the TV and simply lounge together on the sofa. In my experience, I have never found an in-room open-air bath better than this one.We’re already discussing when to make our next Reservation on the way home. Thank you for the delicious new rice and all your thoughtful touches. We can’t wait to come back. It’s a wonderfully quiet place where adults can truly unwind—I highly recommend it to anyone feeling stressed or worn out.

In response to COVID-19, we have long maintained our standards for hygiene management, including disinfection, sanitization, and mask use.
