~Izumo, Encounters, Kararako~ Izumo is known for Kamiarizuki, the month when deities from The whole country gather. With the wish to welcome our guests as warmly as those deities who travel from afar to Izumo, we named this Hotel “Kararako” (Shintoraku).Our restaurant’s head chef is a devoted protégé who trained for many years at the Kyoto kappo restaurant “Higashiyama Yoshihisa,” which earned one Michelin star for two consecutive years from 2019 and again in 2023. Enjoy one-of-a-kind flavors tailored to each guest’s preferences and condition. We honor Japan’s traditional culture and seasonal ingredients of Izumo, serving each dish on carefully selected tableware that expresses an innocent sense of playfulness.All 14 Rooms feature a semi-open-air bath for relaxed comfort. The Hotel also offers an exclusive restaurant for staying guests, a tea lounge, and lounge spaces, as well as a bar open to non-staying visitors.We look forward to welcoming you in Izumo—sharing your joy and celebrating the connections made here.

A traditional Property with a history dating back to 1877, located just a 1-minute walk from the main gate of Izumo Taisha. Enjoy a peaceful and relaxing stay in the newly renovated annex with updated interiors and Facilities, or in the wooden main building that retains its historic charm.

An exterior highlighted by the contrast of plaster and charred wood, a spacious and relaxing interior with solid wood flooring and the scent of tatami.

With a magnificent view of the Sea of Japan and the ever-changing sunsets, "Izumo no Kashi Besso Machitoke Taisha" was created to blend into a corner of Izumo, where the gods from The whole country gather.

When visiting Shimane, the land where gods gather, be sure to visit "Katsugyo Ryori Ginkai." Our top recommendation is the incredibly fresh fish caught by the owner himself using a fixed net! You can enjoy hearty live fish dishes made with seasonal seafood. We also have Taisha Onsen "Futamata no Yu," where you can warm yourself from the core of your body. Bathing in our scenic Onsen while watching the sunset is exceptional! Please relax both body and mind with our proud cuisine and Onsen.
