At the northernmost tip of Kyoto Prefecture lies Taiza on the Tango Peninsula. Here, you will find a world once cherished by an ancient empress as an ideal paradise—a place where sky, sea, and land come together in strength and beauty. All of our hospitality is offered so you can feel the richness of living in harmony with the great nature passed down through generations, and so you may spend an unchanging “time for the heart” that endures through eternity.The origin of Tanpei— It began when master carpenter Heikichi Shimoda welcomed guests and fellow craftsmen, and in 1868 he opened a culinary business. Skilled in traditional ink-line marking, Heikichi was known locally as “Sumiya no Hei-san” (“Hei from the ink shop”). From this nickname came the house name Tanpei, later renamed “Tanpei,” and it has since been operated as the oldest Accommodation in Tango Town to this day. The spirit of hospitality of “Sumiya no Hei-san” has been passed down through six generations and continues today.

About a 2.5-hour drive from central Osaka and Kyoto, Lake Hanareko—the largest freshwater lake in Kyoto Prefecture—lies in the Tango area, where beautiful yet unspoiled scenery remains, close to Ine’s Funaya boat houses and Amanohashidate. “HOTEL & Kotei Soka” is a small Hotel on its shore that celebrated its grand opening in May 2024. Ripples left by waterfowl on the lake, the splash of wildlife diving in, crisp air at dawn, a terrace dappled with willow-filtered light, the colors of the evening sky, abundant local ingredients nurtured by Tango’s climate, carefully selected natural wines, an Onsen to soothe your body—and a welcoming space surrounded by interiors and art curated from what we love. A calm heart and an ideal everyday life await you here.
