Overview

Step into a seaside retreat where the Sea of Japan stretches before you, and the sound of waves sets the rhythm of your stay. Located in the coastal hot spring village of Kaike Onsen, this hotel blends the comfort of a modern hotel with the relaxed hospitality of a traditional ryokan. Every room faces the ocean, offering a peaceful view that changes with the tides and seasons.

Kaike Onsen is known for its naturally flowing salt hot spring waters and rich cultural heritage. You can enjoy the rhythm of the waves during the day and fall asleep to the sound of the surf at night. With recent renovations in 2024, including the main baths, entrance, and several guest rooms, the ryokan now offers an even more comfortable and inviting experience.

Dinner Options

• Seasonal kaiseki meals highlight daily seafood and produce selections.
• For meat lovers, choose a plan that features Japanese beef, pork, and chicken prepared over open flame.

Meals are served in one of several dining areas in the East Wing, each offering a calm setting and seasonal views.

Onsen and Wellness

Kaike Onsen is famous for its mineral-rich salt waters, drawn from natural sources that have been flowing since 1900. The hot spring is known for warming the body, boosting circulation, and promoting healthy skin.

Main Bath – Miho no Yu (West Wing)

Renovated in 2024, this bath now offers greater flow and fresher hot spring water. Soak in peace while gazing out toward the sea. The high salt content gently warms your core and soothes away stress.

Open-Air Bath

Also newly updated, the outdoor bath lets you enjoy the sound of waves and the sea breeze while soaking in the fresh saltwater.

Private Baths (East Wing)

Shiokaze (Open-Air): Share a quiet moment with your partner or family while surrounded by the sea air.

Kaion (Family Bath): A popular choice for families, this bath offers a large private tub in a peaceful setting.

All baths draw from Kaike’s hot spring source. The water is high in sodium and calcium chloride, with known benefits for joint pain, skin health, and fatigue.

Bath Hours: All baths are open from early morning until late at night, so you can soak on your schedule.

Tattoo Policy: If you have tattoos, the ryokan asks that you refrain from using the communal baths. You may reserve a private bath to enjoy the onsen comfortably.
