Overview

Perched on the hills of Mt. Washiba, Kasago Hotel invites you to leave your daily routine behind and embrace the calm beauty of the Seto Inland Sea. Every moment here is designed to give you freedom and ease, from the moment you arrive until the time you leave. With an all-inclusive plan, you can enjoy your stay without worrying about extra costs. Look out over the shimmering waters, breathe in the fresh air, and let your mind slow down.

Accommodation

Every room at Kasago Hotel offers sweeping views of the Seto Inland Sea, so you can start and end your day with a horizon of soft blues. You can choose from a range of spaces:

  • Premium Rooms – Six unique layouts for a luxurious stay, including the Annex Corner Suites Asahi and Yuuhi, both with open-air baths, and the Annex Deluxe Room.
  • Main Building – Superior Twin rooms, Corner Deluxe “Denim” and “Hanpu” rooms, each with their own style.
  • Standard Rooms – The Annex Japanese-style room accommodates one to five people, while the Main Building Regular Twin offers space for one to three people.

Whichever room you choose, you’ll have the comfort of waking up to the peaceful sea and ending your day with the same view.

Dining

At Kasago Hotel, dining is an event in itself. Dinner takes the form of a Kaiseki Buffet, blending the artistry of Japanese cuisine with the freedom to choose exactly what you like. Seasonal seafood from Okayama, local vegetables, and regional sake fill the tables. This summer, the “World Gourmet Expo – Passion Continent” brings dishes inspired by six continents plus Japan, each rich in character and flavor.

Breakfast is a generous buffet of Japanese and Western dishes. Watch chefs prepare omelets and fried eggs to order in the open kitchen, or savor Okayama’s specialty Mamakari, lightly roasted to your taste. At the dessert corner, a pancake machine bakes fluffy treats ready for your favorite toppings and ice cream.

Onsen and Wellness

Kasago Hotel is home to Japan’s only “beautiful skin” hot spring, Washuzan Fukiage Onsen. You can soak in:

  • Urashima no Yu and Tenjo no Yu – Open-air baths on the rooftop of the Annex, 110 meters above sea level, with views of Bisan Seto and the Seto Ohashi Bridge.
  • Nagomi no Yu and Minazuki no Yu – Indoor baths featuring the exclusive “Honey Pearl Bath,” developed with Yamada Bee Farm. Infused with ripe honey and pearl extract, the water nourishes and hydrates your skin.

The spring water is clear, nearly odorless, and naturally rich in minerals, ideal for easing muscle tension, joint stiffness, and fatigue.

Guests with Tattoos

If you have tattoos, you can enjoy the baths privately by booking a session at the reserved family-use facilities. This ensures you can relax without concern and still enjoy the full hot spring experience.

Facilities

Kasago Hotel offers everything you need for a fulfilling stay:

  • All-inclusive dining and drinks during your stay.
  • Rooftop observation areas with panoramic views.
  • Spacious lounges where you can enjoy seasonal events or simply watch the sunset.
  • On-site spa services for extra relaxation.

Activities

Take advantage of the hotel’s location to explore the Setouchi region. You can plan a day trip to Naoshima for the Setouchi Triennale 2025, join special summer events like the Hawaiian-themed lounge days in August, or simply walk along the coast and enjoy the peaceful scenery.

Additional Features

  • Free Wi-Fi throughout the property.
  • Seasonal event programs.
  • Day-use onsen options for non-staying visitors at select hours.
  • All-inclusive plans with special discounts available.

This is the place to let go of your routine, enjoy the flavors of the world alongside the taste of Okayama, and watch the Seto Inland Sea shift from dawn to dusk.
