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.

Izumo, the land where myths come alive. The detached accommodations replicating ancient elevated houses make you feel as if you've traveled back in time. The main building offers the charm of a traditional hot spring inn, where you can enjoy the hot springs of Japan's three beauties at a reasonable price. Meals include a course recreating and adapting ancient cuisine, a kaiseki course featuring Shimane brand ingredients, and a course showcasing local Shussai kiln pottery. Experience the ancient and modern Izumo through your taste and sight.
