NIPPONIA Izumo Taisha Shrine Town

Thank you again for taking such good care of us. With its excellent location beside the approach to the shrine and within walking distance of Izumo Taisha, along with the Facility lovingly restored from a charming building from days gone by and the wonderful hospitality of all the staff, we were able to spend a truly pleasant time. Even though we visit again at almost the same time each year, the meals are different every time—delicious dishes that highlight local production for local consumption and are also a delight to look at—and once again we finished everything.If I may make one small request: as I get older, it can be difficult to read in the dim, atmospheric lighting. It would be very helpful if you could provide a light stand (even as a loan item) so guests can read books more easily. We look forward to visiting again next year. Thank you very much.

The Accommodation is a renovated former storehouse, featuring solid wood floors and impressive exposed beams and pillars. Since it felt similar to my own home, it was incredibly comfortable. (I was also surprised that the bathroom layout was exactly like mine.) It almost felt like staying in a Room within Izumo Taisha, and I highly recommend a morning walk as well.Choosing the plan with both dinner and breakfast was absolutely the right decision.There are very few restaurants around here, and almost all of them close around 5:00 PM (only Starbucks stays open until 6:30 PM), so I recommend booking with meals included. Dinner is a creative French full-course meal using local ingredients, with the luxury of optional sake pairing. Breakfast is Japanese-style, featuring local shijimi clam miso soup, blanched vegetables in light seasoning, nanbanzuke marinated barracuda, simmered chicken and burdock root, and many other dishes—very satisfying.It was a quick one-night, two-day trip for two adults to visit Izumo Taisha, but it turned into an extremely satisfying journey.This is an Accommodation I would definitely love to return to if I have the chance.
