Whether you’re traveling with family, a group, or a loved one, Kasyouen offers a relaxing and joyful retreat.

Accommodation

Every room at Kasyouen faces the ocean, giving you an unforgettable view of the Japan Sea. The rooms combine Japanese-style tatami flooring with Western-style beds, providing comfort and relaxation for all types of travelers. You’ll find enough space to stay with friends or family, whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or enjoying a quiet getaway.

Standard rooms include:

• A tatami area for relaxation
• Twin beds
• Ocean views from every window

For an even more luxurious stay, consider one of the rooms on the top floor, each featuring a private open-air bath. These spacious suites let you soak in the natural hot spring water while watching the sea and sky meet on the horizon.

You can also explore Kasyouen’s sister properties — each offers something unique, from full private villas to special suites with terraces, and every one includes access to the natural hot spring waters.

Dining

Your meals at Kasyouen take place in a calm and elegant dining area designed for comfort. Dinner features fresh seafood from the Sea of Japan and seasonal ingredients from the mountains and farms of the Tango region.

In winter, enjoy dishes centered around snow crab, one of the region’s seasonal highlights. In other months, you might find fresh abalone, beautifully marbled black Wagyu beef, or locally harvested vegetables and rice. Every plate reflects the chef’s careful work and commitment to the craft of Japanese cuisine.

The ryokan also offers a popular breakfast buffet with more than 40 choices. Start your morning with a bowl of freshly cooked Tango Koshihikari rice topped with seafood of your choice — a build-your-own seafood rice bowl that many visitors look forward to. You’ll also find local vegetables, traditional side dishes, and plenty of options to suit your taste.

Onsen and Wellness

The natural hot spring at Kasyouen is known as “Bijin-no-yu,” or “The Beautiful Skin Bath,” thanks to its gentle alkaline properties that leave your skin soft and smooth. This water flows from the Yuhigaura spring and has a long history of soothing both body and mind.

You can enjoy the hot spring in two main ways:

• The garden open-air bath, where you soak under the stars and breathe in fresh sea air
• The indoor communal bath, now beautifully renovated with wood and stone designs, offering a sauna and space to unwind

If you’d like more privacy, reserve a private bath when you check in. These rooms are perfect for quiet moments alone or with someone special. They may fill quickly, so be sure to ask about availability as soon as you arrive.

Guests with Tattoos

No specific tattoo policy is stated. If you’re concerned, ask about reserving a private bath for a more comfortable experience.

Facilities

Kasyouen is designed with groups and families in mind, but it also suits couples and solo travelers looking for quiet. You’ll find:

• Spacious rooms that accommodate up to five people
• A large banquet hall for celebrations
• Private dining spaces and semi-private booths
• A shop selling local products
• A snack bar, kids’ room, and ping-pong area
• Ample parking right outside

You can also borrow a colorful yukata at no cost, choose your favorite design, and wear it throughout your stay — a fun way to feel at home in this seaside ryokan.

Activities

Throughout the year, the staff organizes seasonal events to add fun to your stay. You might catch a fruit-themed event in summer or enjoy the fireworks that light up the sky along the coast. The surrounding area also offers much to explore — sandy beaches, hot spring villages, and scenic drives through the hills and seaside towns of the Tango Peninsula.
