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.”

Facing the Sea of Japan, Tango–Kumihama is a scenic area where many beautiful landscapes remain. A legend has been passed down here. In the Kamakura period, the monk Ippen traveled across The whole country to save people, distributing nembutsu talismans and performing dancing nembutsu. After finishing his preaching in Kyoto and heading toward San’in, he was chanting the nembutsu in Kumihama when clouds suddenly gathered and a blue dragon appeared over the sea. Dragon worship has long been practiced in this region, and it is said that the blue dragon revealed itself before Ippen to form a bond with the nembutsu. Even today, the Sea of Japan as seen from Kumihama retains an air of mystery. Like Ippen once did, you can be embraced by this scenery and find rest here.

Seven Rooms with open-air baths. Experience the vast Sea of Japan, feel the breeze, and enjoy sunsets, fishing lights, and starry skies. Indulge in a special space where Tango's nature and leisurely time blend with seasonal cuisine and Kyoto brands.

Our ocean-view Room offers a private space undisturbed by anyone. Gaze out over the calm waters of Kumihama Bay, listen to birdsong, and relax in peace as you feel the gentle sea breeze on the terrace. In your Room’s private Onsen, unwind and enjoy a soothing soak while taking in the ocean view. At night, a sky full of stars unfolds above, revealing an enchanting world far removed from everyday life. Discovering local cuisine is one of the joys of travel. In winter, savor an abundance of seafood—starting with fresh Matsuba crab—to your heart’s content. Step away from the daily bustle and enjoy the luxury of doing nothing as you look out over Kumihama Bay’s mirror-like surface—letting your mind grow calm and still.

The Kumihama Onsen, blessed by nature, soothes tired skin and is effective for neuralgia and fatigue recovery. Additionally, the meals at the Property feature kaiseki cuisine that highlights seasonal ingredients nurtured by the Sea of Japan and the fertile lands of Kyotango.
