Dining

Dining at Wanwan Paradise Matsusaka keeps your dog close. The restaurant welcomes dogs, so meals feel relaxed and shared rather than separated.

Dinner centers on seasonal Japanese kaiseki, with courses that highlight the flavors of Matsusaka and the surrounding region. Depending on the plan, meals may include Matsusaka beef, Ise lobster, river fish, seasonal sashimi, local vegetables, rice, and carefully prepared small dishes.

Breakfast offers a Japanese set meal with warm, balanced dishes to start the day. After breakfast, the surrounding nature, walking paths, and dog park make it easy to move straight into a relaxed morning outdoors.

Dogs also have dedicated meal options, including meat, fish, and dessert choices. This makes the dining experience feel more complete for both of you.

Onsen and Wellness

Wanwan Paradise Matsusaka offers Oku-Kahadakyo Onsen II, a natural hot spring for your own relaxation. The indoor bath and open-air bath give you a quiet place to recover after a day of driving, walking, sightseeing, or playing outdoors with your dog.

The spring includes carbon dioxide, sodium, calcium bicarbonate, and chloride qualities. The official information lists benefits for concerns such as nerve pain, muscle pain, and joint pain.

Bathing hours are generous, with morning and evening access available for overnight stays. Dogs cannot enter the hot spring area, so this becomes your own moment of calm before returning to your room.
