Unnan Yoshida is a place often called the cradle of Japan, where the Yamata-no-Orochi legend, the ancient Izumo kingdom, and some 1,400 years of Tatara ironmaking history converge. In this Japan Heritage–designated area, we have preserved a 150-year-old former village headman’s residence and welcome just one party per day as an exclusive Accommodation. Managed by Chef Ikenoya, our Japanese-French restaurant “Wakatsuki Saryo” features local vegetables and game, fish from the Sea of Japan, and aged Shimane beef; alongside it is our private suite “Hon-an,” with an entrance room adorned with an Izumo magatama jewel and a reservable semi-open-air bath. Deep in the mountains where memories of iron lie dormant, savor a night devoted to this very moment.

At this property, you can enjoy onsen sourced from Yunokawa Onsen, renowned as one of Japan's three most beautiful hot springs, with 100% natural spring water available throughout the night. The onsen, rich in metasilicic acid, is excellent for moisturizing and leaves your skin smooth. Additionally, you can admire the tranquil scenery of Hikawa Town from the windows, providing a relaxing retreat. The cuisine, prepared with fresh local ingredients, is a highlight, especially the juicy "Shimane Wagyu," a must-try.
