Overview

Set along the sparkling Sea of Japan, Okukinosaki Seaside Hotel offers a relaxed, oceanfront stay where the sounds of gentle waves welcome you from the moment you arrive. Located near Takenohama Beach—recognized as one of Japan’s 100 best beaches—this ryokan surrounds you with natural beauty, peaceful hospitality, and access to seasonal seafood from the nearby Takeno fishing port.

You’ll enjoy sweeping ocean views from your room, rejuvenating baths that reflect the rhythm of the seasons, and traditional Japanese-style hospitality in a quiet, coastal retreat.

Accommodation

Each room at the hotel brings you closer to the sea. With windows facing the Japan Sea, your stay includes views of sunrise, sunset, and seasonal weather rolling in from the water.

You can choose from several room types:

  • Japanese-style room with open-air bath – A spacious 16.5 m² tatami room with a private open-air bath and views of the sea. Soak at your own pace while listening to the waves.
  • Seaside Japanese-style rooms – Rooms with sea views and the comfort of traditional futons or twin beds.
  • Mountain-side Japanese-style rooms – Ideal for solo travelers or those on business trips. These offer a quieter setting and excellent value.

All rooms include a bath and toilet, and standard amenities such as a hot water kettle, refrigerator, body soap, lotion, and a yukata.

Dining

At Okukinosaki Seaside Hotel, the food celebrates the rich bounty of the Sea of Japan. Your meals feature seasonal seafood, local rice and vegetables, and specialties like Tajima wagyu beef and premium Shibayama snow crab.

Spring & Autumn

Enjoy a balanced mix of fresh seafood and Tajima beef—sourced directly from local farmers and the Takeno fishing port.

Summer

Savor thick, flavorful abalone, served as sashimi or grilled with butter on a teppanyaki plate.

Winter

Relish Shibayama crab, a prized regional brand. Whether boiled, grilled, or served raw, its sweet flavor and firm texture define winter dining in Kinosaki.

Meals highlight the ingredients’ natural flavor, giving you a taste of the region with every bite.
