Dining🍣
We prepare Japanese kaiseki cuisine using only the finest local ingredients, generously selected by our head chef: fresh Seki horse mackerel, Seki mackerel, Oita Wagyu beef, and more. We offer a limited service of just 10 groups per day, so you can wholeheartedly enjoy this special feast. Savor your meal at your leisure in a private dining room, offering a different ambiance from your guest room. All water at our inn comes from the spring waters of Mt. Yufu—the water in your kettle, your coffee, and even the water used in cooking. It is a special soft water with a gentle taste; please take a moment to savor it. Furthermore, between your hot spring baths and rest periods, we host an aperitif in the lounge as a prelude to dinner.
