Cuisine
Our finest seasonal cuisine is prepared with local natural blessings to capture and showcase the best each season has to offer from the Seto Inland sea, the Sea of Japan, and the mountains.
Yunogo Onsen is located in the mountainous region between the Seto Inland Sea and the Sea of Japan, about one and a half hours from each coast. Every morning, the first catch arrives by truck in a fresh water tank loaded. The easy access from both the Okayama and Tottori ports has brought forth a new culinary culture into the mountanious areas in recent decades.
We offer three types of kaiseki multi-course meals for you to choose from to suit your preferences.
