Auberge of Harmony Kakimoto House

Japanese sake sommelier "kikisakeshi" & "Vegetable sommelier" & "Onsen sommelier" and other specialists provide hospitality.

A Ryokan for adults with over 110 years of history, located on the highlands of the Shigisan National Park, offering majestic mountain views and tranquility. From the guest rooms and the large communal bath on the national park side, you can enjoy a panoramic view of Shigisan. The stunning scenery and fresh air allow you to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and experience an extraordinary moment. Our carefully crafted creative Kaiseki cuisine, infused with Western essence, is meticulously prepared by our head chef using carefully selected seasonal ingredients. We personally visit producers to ensure the quality and passion behind the ingredients. Monthly tasting sessions are held within the team to perfect the seasonal Kaiseki menu. Responding to popular demand, in July 2022, we transformed the large communal bath and guest rooms with open-air baths into Onsen facilities. As an Onsen property, we have further enhanced our offerings. Enjoy the smooth and gentle Onsen waters as many times as you like. Additionally, our property is home to a variety of specialists, which adds to its charm. The master of our property is a "Sake Sommelier," and the proprietress is both a "Vegetable Sommelier" and an "Onsen Sommelier." What is a "Sake Sommelier"? A professional in Japanese sake, often referred to as the 'Sommelier of Sake.' At Kakimotoya, we carefully select local sake from Nara, matching the season and the monthly Kaiseki menu, and offer them with a professional touch. What is a "Vegetable Sommelier"? An expert in selecting vegetables and fruits, understanding their nutrients, and determining the best cooking methods for each ingredient.
