Ako Onsen × Accommodation With Gozen CuisineRecommended Hotel·Ryokan

A Ryokan proud of its cuisine. You can fish from the tank, and the chef will prepare it on the spot. Enjoy the Akaho Onsen, rich in salt and minerals, in the panoramic bath with a view of the Seto Inland Sea.

Ginpaso stands at the very edge of Banshu Ako. The breathtaking beauty of the Seto Inland Sea’s many islands, stretching unobstructed to the horizon, leaves a lasting impression on every visitor. Surrender yourself to our “Tenmi-no-Yu” and “Iwami-no-Yu” baths and enjoy the liberating feel of an infinity view where sea and bath become one. Listen to the gentle sound of the waves and let peaceful time flow far from the bustle of everyday life. For dining, we offer kaiseki cuisine that highlights seasonal flavors, centered on fresh seafood nurtured by these abundant waters. In a space where time-honored hospitality harmonizes with modern comfort, spend a truly luxurious moment for the heart with someone special.

Located at Ako Misaki in Setonaikai National Park, this Accommodation boasts an exceptional setting and takes pride in serving seasonal ingredients prepared in a variety of styles. Enjoy the beautiful Seto Inland Sea throughout the seasons from your guest room, the open-air bath, and the restaurant. To the east you can see the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge; straight ahead, the Ieshima Islands; beyond them, Awaji Island; and to the west, Shodoshima Island. The large public bath’s open-air bath also offers sweeping views of the Seto Inland Sea and a spacious tub for a wonderfully open, relaxing soak. A highlight is the rare low-temperature salt sauna—rub Ako salt onto your skin to promote perspiration—which is especially popular. For dining, enjoy creative kaiseki cuisine centered on seasonal seafood. Oyster dishes are particularly popular in winter.

Located in the Kariya area of Ako City, where the charm of a historic castle town still remains, this property was established as a sister inn to Ako Onsen Shiosai Kirara Shokichi. Preserving as much as possible of buildings constructed during the Meiji and Taisho periods, we spent over a year renovating them with a focus on restoring them to their finest condition of the time. Enjoy a stay that blends into the town of Ako at an unhurried pace.
