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.

Located about 1 minute from Matsue Expressway "Mitoya Kisuki IC" and approximately a 20-minute walk from JR Kisuki Station. We feature a natural Onsen, a high-temperature dry sauna (auto löyly), a cold bath with a depth of 150 cm, and an outdoor relaxation space. After your bath, enjoy complimentary ice cream or lactic acid drinks. For breakfast, we offer around 40 varieties of Japanese and Western buffet dishes, including local specialties like "Grilled Mackerel Chirashi Sushi" and "Anago Rice." For late-night snacks, enjoy our signature "Yonaki Soba" for free. The interior incorporates elements of Unnan culture such as "Tatara Ironmaking" and "Sekishu Roof Tiles," along with decorations inspired by Izumo folk crafts like indigo dyeing and kumiko woodworking throughout the facility.

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.

In 2021, we completely renovated the cottage accommodations, and in September 2023, we opened "Yoiko no Asobiba" and the athletic plaza, making it even more enjoyable and comfortable for your stay! Enjoy BBQ in a covered venue that's perfect even on rainy days, savor our special soft-serve ice cream at the café, or explore nature by searching for insects—there are plenty of activities to connect with the outdoors. Regular events are also held! Spend quality time with your family or friends in a clean, private cottage at our Property.
