Meals feature colorful sashimi platters, as well as dishes that incorporate plenty of seasonal ingredients. Guests are also treated to an original Kai Izumo delicacy: basket clams cooked in a cataplana.

Dinners consist of multi-course kaiseki meals that include visually pleasing dishes made with seasonal ingredients.

While morning set meals feature regional cuisine, such as Japanese sea bass—one of seven prized fish found in Izumo’s Lake Shinji—steamed in fragrant washi paper.

Tamatsukuri Hot Spring has historically been known as the “hot spring of the gods” due to its potent skin rejuvenating effects, first recorded in the 8th century. Guests are invited to soak themselves in this natural skin toner, either in our bath halls or in their rooms.

The Japanese eagerly await the month of June every year. They crowd along riverbanks, lakes or nearby water zones in hopes of seeing a show only Mother Nature knows how to put on – a poetic moment that draws people of all ages and only plays in the evening when all the conditions are in place.

After a downpour, when the air is still balmy and humid, smalllights appear by the hundreds, sometimes even by the thousands, like tiny lanterns floating in the heavens – fireflies. During your stay at Kai Izumo, take a look around you as night falls for a chance to admire the show.

Finding the fireflies is as easy as identifying humid or wooded areas, ideally clean ones near a river since fireflies are picky. And to be certain not to miss the moment, keep an eye on the weather and check the websites dedicated to this happening called “hotaru matsuri”.

Guests are invited to sit on massage chairs and cool off with a sherbet or refreshing beverage after a dip in the baths. The lounge also makes a perfect meeting spot.

In the era of social networks, there is still a legendary place in Japan that may help you find love or richness: the Izumo Taisha Grand Shrine must be your next big experience! It is considered to be the oldest and largest shrine in Japan, having existed since at least before the 7th century.

It is said to have played a major role in the creation of Japanese mythology, and its main divinity, Okuninushi, is said to be the creator of Japan.

Additionally, Okuninushi is known as the God of marriage, positive encounters and good fortune. This is why couples and singles flock to it couples seeking for their union to last, singles praying to meet the right person.
