Okuine Onsen Aburaya Bekken NAGOMITEI
Okuine Onsen Nagomitei is an onsen ryokan (a Japanese style inn with hot spring baths) overlooking the Sea of Japan, where every room has a private open air bath, and a view of the ocean horizon where you can watch the sun rise. Inside, Nagomitei has tatami flooring with an elevator and open-plan space, making it accessible for wheel chair use. Lately, most open air baths in guest rooms do not use hot spring water, but Nagomitei has a personal supply to the hot springs, which means you can bathe in water from natural hot springs around the clock. As for food, courses are brought directly to your room, so you can enjoy seasonal seafood and Tajima beef (a famous brand of wagyu beef) in peace and quiet. Nagomitei is a retreat especially for adults, so children under the age of 12 are not permitted. The ryokan was also placed in the top 100 for the 45th Professional Choice Hotel and Ryokan Japan Awards, and received one of ten Special Jury Awards for "small inns of Japan."

Furuma-ya
Furuma-ya is an old country house located in the countryside of Miwa, in Fukuchiyama City, just 10 minutes on the express train from Kyoto Station.
We plough the small fields around the perimeter of the house, and harvest and cook the seasonal blessings of nature. On summer nights, we listen to the sounds of insects and the chorus of frogs as we cool ourselves outside, and in winter we warm up with a firewood stove. It may be modest, but this is how our family at Furuma-ya lives together in harmony with nature.
Come and visit us if you'd like to get away from the busy city and experience a bit of our country life.
"Furumaya" means "beautiful flower" in Nepali. Furuyama's owner hopes that this inn, too, will attract people as beautiful country flowers do, and become a place of rest and relaxation.

Hotel & Resorts KYOTO-MIYAZU
Hotel and Resorts KYOTO-MIYAZU sits atop a small hill on the Kurita Peninsula and overlooks Miyazu Bay and Amanohashidate—one of Japan’s three most famous scenic views. From February to mid-May you can pick strawberries at the hotel’s own strawberry greenhouse, Royal Strawberry Park. The main sightseeing locations in the area are Amanohashidate View Land (about 20 minutes by car), and Kasamatsu Park (35 minutes by car), where people traditionally turn their backs to Amanohashidate and bend over to view the amazing landform from between their legs, so that it looks like a bridge to heaven (this position is called "matanozoki"). Also about an hour away by car are the "funaya" boathouses of Ine, which are designated as Traditional Buildings Important for Preservation. As for guest rooms, you can choose from Western, Japanese, or Japanese-Western mix style rooms, all with ocean views and well-equipped for families. For food, the seasonal Japanese, Western, and Chinese-style buffet is the hotel's specialty, but there are also crab or yellowtail fish kaiseki (formally arranged course with seasonal vegetables) plans available. There is also a restaurant with authentic Japanese, Chinese, and French cuisine. The hotel is equipped with a public bath and sauna, as well as an open-air bath which uses local Miyazu hot spring water.

Tango no Yuyado Ebisuya (Kitsu)
This traditional ryokan inn in Kyotango has a style that's a mix of contemporary designs and the modern style of the Taisho era (1912-1926). Kitsu Onsen uses the water of Kyoto's oldest hot spring, and is mildly alkaline and soft on the skin, earning it a reputation as a "skin-beautifying hot spring." The spring was first discovered in the Nara period (710-794) by Buddhist monks who noticed egrets using the hot spring to heal their wounds.
The famous writer Matsumoto Seicho stayed here for two months in 1965 as he wrote the mystery novel “D no Fukugo" ("D’s Compound"). His study and the room in which he stayed are open to visitors. Meals are served in a restaurant filled with greenery that suggests a bamboo forest, and made using seasonal ingredients local to the Tango area. In winter, you can dine on a famous Tango treat, matsuba kani crab. In the hallways, you can look out and see a 100 year-old cherry tree, and every year in late June and early July fireflies visit the creek at the hotel.
