At Nishiura Grand Hotel Kikkei, you wake up to the sound of waves from Mikawa Bay and the fresh ocean breeze flowing through your window. Located just a one-minute walk from Nishiura Palm Beach, this ryokan sits inside Mikawa Bay Quasi-National Park, making it the perfect place to enjoy both nature and comfort. Whether you want a relaxing soak with a view or a meal made with the finest local ingredients, the hotel gives you many reasons to come back again.
Step into one of the design award-winning rooms, enjoy seafood straight from the bay, and soak in panoramic hot springs perched at the top of the building. Your stay combines the scenic beauty of Aichi’s coastline with traditional hospitality and seasonal flavors.
Accommodation
Choose from several types of rooms designed to suit your style. Many rooms feature semi-open-air baths, letting you soak while taking in the sea view.
The standout rooms belong to the “wan – bay” series. These rooms, which opened in 2022, have won multiple international design awards for their thoughtful blend of modern and traditional elements. Enjoy tatami spaces, Western beds, and private semi-open-air baths while listening to the sound of waves below.
If you’re traveling with family or in a group, you’ll find spacious options that combine Japanese and Western styles. Barrier-free rooms are also available to make your stay more comfortable.
Dining
You can enjoy meals made with the freshest local ingredients from Mikawa Bay, all from the comfort of your room if you choose a plan that includes in-room dining. Live abalone grilled on a ceramic plate, sashimi made from the day’s catch, and rich A5-grade Mikawa beef shabu-shabu are just a few of the highlights.
Dinner follows the style of traditional kaiseki cuisine, crafted by the ryokan’s head chef. Each plan offers different seasonal dishes, so you can choose the one that matches your cravings. For breakfast, savor flavors that complement the sea air and prepare you for a peaceful day ahead.
Onsen and Wellness
Head to the top floor and step into the observation bath “Umi Koko”, where you can enjoy a sweeping view of the sea while soaking in the warm waters. Locals call these hot springs “beautiful springs” for a reason—they leave your skin feeling smooth and refreshed.
Other bathing options include the large public baths “Kegon-no-yu” and “Shiraito-no-yu”, as well as additional observation baths like “Hikari Reirei”. Whether you prefer a quiet soak in the early morning or a relaxing evening bath under the stars, you’ll always find the right spot to unwind.
Guests with Tattoos
If you have tattoos, you may want to contact the ryokan in advance to ask about using the large baths. You can also enjoy the semi-open-air bath in your room for complete privacy and comfort.
