What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
The Earth’s common spaces are laid out and furnished in the traditional, floor-level tatami style, but the bedrooms are hotel-style for maximum comfort.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Four private walking trails thread through ancient coastal forest across the cape, secluded deep inside Ise-Shima National Park.
The rooms
Suites blend tatami flooring and Western beds, each opening onto a wooden terrace with a private hot spring rotenburo facing the Pacific.
The onsen
Bring a swimsuit.
Stone baths draw alkaline water from the on-site Ryunosu spring, looking straight out toward the shoreline.
The spa
Soak slowly.
Spa by Mio provides facial and body treatments in private rooms opening onto the coastal forest.
Restaurant
Dining Ran
The octagonal dining hall looks out over the Pacific through tall windows, serving seasonal kaiseki menus with Matsusaka beef.
At the table
Private dining alcoves with sunken tatami seating look out onto the courtyard garden and the sea.
How it began
Designed around the idea of observing coastal storms from indoors, the inn left ninety-five percent of its surrounding primeval forest completely untouched.
