5 recommended inns

Many of Kyotango's accommodations are located in locations offering spectacular views of the ocean and lakes, allowing you to spend a relaxing time while enjoying the seasonal scenery. Each ryokan has its own unique features, such as cuisine that makes generous use of the bounty of the sea, hot springs, and open-air baths, allowing you to spend a luxurious time in an extraordinary environment. We will introduce five such wonderful ryokans.

① [Kumihama Town] Hekisui Gyoen

This traditional Japanese inn is located on the shores of the scenic Kumihama Bay, which is designated as part of the San'in Kaigan National Park, in the inner sanctum of Tango, Kyoto. It has a sukiya-style building that is an example of the sophistication of Japanese architecture, and has only 14 rooms on a site of 33,000 square meters. It is also an excellent base for accessing nearby tourist destinations such as Amanohashidate, one of Japan's Three Most Scenic Spots, the Funaya houses of Ine on the Tango Peninsula, the castle town of Izushi, Kinosaki Onsen, and Kinosaki Marine World. The natural hot spring water from the inn's own source is plentiful and of good quality. Guests can enjoy seasonal dishes that make use of the rich ingredients of Tango, such as sardines in spring, rock oysters in summer, matsutake mushrooms and nodoguro in autumn, and Matsuba crab and oysters in winter.
