  • [Thank You for the Exceptional Hospitality] An Unforgettable Stay with Thoughtful Service and a Private Open-Air Bath with Spectacular Views

    Although it was my first stay, I was instantly captivated by the beauty of the property and its exceptional cleanliness. The location from our room was perfect, and the in-room hot spring—always ready to use without adding heat or water—was truly soothing.This time I stayed while hosting guests from the United States, and I was deeply impressed by the staff’s hospitality. Even though we arrived late for dinner, they welcomed us warmly without a hint of displeasure. What surprised me even more was that they quickly translated and printed an English menu on the spot. My companion was equally moved.They also kindly accommodated our train schedule by moving breakfast 15 minutes earlier, showing thoughtful flexibility that truly considered our situation.This is a wonderful ryotei that genuinely makes you feel glad you stayed—one you’ll want to brag about. Next time, I will definitely bring my family!

  • A Relaxing Getaway

    The weather wasn’t great, but we still enjoyed our trip to the fullest.The goal this time was to relax, and everything was perfect: the room’s calming atmosphere, the ocean view, and the in-room bath we could enjoy without worrying about the rain.The food was delicious, from the fresh sashimi to the pot-cooked rice that brought a smile to our faces with every bite.This stay inspired me to work hard every day so we can come back!

Introduction of the Accommodation

Room

A place to unwind mind and body—welcome to Kyotango, where the sea meets nourishing local flavors.

Many shades of blue reflected on the sea of Kyotango: the open waters known as “Tango Blue,” the crimson sky selected among Japan’s 100 Best Sunsets, and the majestic ridgelines traced by a ria coastline──. In this land where myths and legends have lived on since ancient times, we offer time to restore your spirit through exceptional cuisine and quiet serenity.

Guest Room

Embraced by the scent of the sea and trees, 15 hidden retreats

Set on a vast 1,500-tsubo estate, the property offers just 15 guest rooms. This is a quiet, adults-only retreat where traditional wooden architecture meets modern comfort. Choose from five distinct styles, including rooms with private open-air hot spring baths and sweeping views, traditional boat-shaped ceilings, and the “Shiomidai” lookout designed for uninterrupted ocean gazing. Surrender to the warmth of wood and simply restore your peace of mind as you take in the magnificent Sea of Japan. Enjoy a truly luxurious stay.

Seasonal Cuisine

Discover an unforgettable dish at a traditional Japanese restaurant on your travels.

An essential part of a truly blissful stay is exquisite cuisine made with the finest ingredients. The Tango and Tajima regions, rich in nature and blessed with both sea and mountain delicacies, offer exceptional seasonal specialties such as Matsuba crab—the king of winter flavors—as well as premium Tajima beef. Please take your time and savor our chef’s signature kaiseki course, lavishly prepared with these outstanding ingredients.

Yuhigaura Onsen

Face the vast ocean and surrender yourself to the hot springs.

The water comes from Yuhigaura’s famed hot spring source, celebrated as the “beauty bath” for its skin-moisturizing qualities. In ocean-view guest rooms, we have prepared private open-air baths filled with this renowned spring water. Enjoy a soak anytime, 24 hours a day—resting to the sound of the sea breeze, free from concern for anyone else. It is a luxurious time to shed all excess and simply melt into the warmth in quiet stillness. In the large public bath, savor an open, expansive soak where sea, sky, and water’s surface seem to merge into one. With separate men’s and women’s bathing times on a rotating schedule, you can also enjoy the exceptional atmosphere of our garden open-air bath, where stone and greenery resonate in bold harmony. Watch the ever-changing scenery—and simply be still.

Interior

A special kind of relaxation you can only experience here

A single boat quietly sets out onto the open sea, inviting travelers to a place and time unlike any other. Inside, you’ll find relaxing spaces throughout the property—dining areas and post-bath lounges that won’t interrupt your conversations with loved ones, as well as a meditation room. Enjoy a peaceful, adults-only getaway at our inn.

Drinks
Enjoy your trip with complete peace of mind.

At our inn, all beverages—including drinks paired with your dinner menu and those provided in your room—are included in the room rate. Refreshing treats and sweets available in the post-bath lounge are also offered with our compliments. Relax without worrying about the bill, surrender to comfort, and enjoy to your heart’s content.

  • Food Allergy Accommodations

    Due to the complexity of food preparation, the number of staff involved, and the volume of meals served at a hotel or ryokan, it is extremely difficult to provide detailed, individual allergy accommodations or guarantee the complete removal of allergens. We have therefore decided to decline certain allergy-related requests, as handling numerous individual requests could lead to errors and potentially put guests’ lives at risk. [Basic Policy on Food Allergies] For the nine designated food allergens, we make every effort to offer menus that omit the relevant ingredients wherever possible. If you require allergy accommodations, please notify us at least seven days before your stay. Please note that allergens may be present in soup stocks, extracts, binding agents, and seasonings such as soy sauce and miso. We cannot accommodate requests to remove these ingredients, including soup stocks and extracts. Due to the nature of Japanese cuisine, Ryotei Kai cannot provide meals that are completely free of the relevant allergens. For your safety, we will consider accommodations only after you have discussed your specific requirements with us in detail. We may not be able to meet your needs, but please contact us to discuss them. Below are some frequently asked questions. If you have any requests, please first contact the property by email or phone. While we cannot guarantee that we can meet every request and may need to decline some, we will do our best to accommodate you. Please send emails via our contact page. (Please allow 2–3 business days for a reply.) Direct phone: 0772-74-9099 [Frequently Asked Questions] Please visit our official website for details.
