Private accommodation and inn special feature: Cuisine inn Kiseisou

A traditional Japanese inn where you can enjoy the nostalgic atmosphere of the Showa era

Located along the Kumano Kaido, Kiseisou is a ryokan (traditional Japanese inn) that is popular with anglers, motorbike enthusiasts, couples, and solo travelers.
Many guests staying at the inn are on their way to see the Kumano Kodo, a World Heritage Site, and as the inn faces the road that leads to the ancient trail, it is particularly popular with people hiking around Tsuzura Pass, as well as bikers and anglers.

The JR Kisei Line's Ise-Kashiwazaki Station is located nearby, making transportation convenient.

Since its opening in 33, the restaurant has retained the charm of the time and has a retro atmosphere, where the chef, who has trained exclusively in Japanese cuisine, will treat you to his signature dishes.
The cuisine, made with seasonal locally sourced ingredients, is available not only for guests staying at the inn, but also for lunch if you make a reservation, making it a popular ryokan that attracts many people. Many people are fans of the couple's personality and cuisine, and the inn has many repeat customers.

Filled with the charm of a nostalgic old house

The atmosphere is nostalgic and relaxing, like coming home to your hometown.
Scattered throughout the building, which has been meticulously maintained, are retro Showa-era accessories that are rarely seen these days.
The shop is decorated with antique retro items such as glass doors, a nostalgic black telephone, and an irori hearth, as well as paintings painted by the owner as a hobby, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere.

Surrounded by idyllic scenery, the rooms at Kiseisou are tatami-style and filled with the scent of tatami grass along with the sounds of nature, making them the perfect space to spend a relaxing time.

The good old atmosphere of the Showa era remains intact, and what's appealing about this place is that you can experience rural mountain life, far removed from the hustle and bustle of the city.
In our daily lives, where we are constantly pressed for time, we would like to sit on the sofa on the veranda, forget about time, and gaze out at the garden.

The building also has other comfortable spaces that give off a nostalgic feeling of Japan, such as a bathroom with a curtain that reads "Yu," a sloping staircase, and latticed windows, allowing you to spend a special, relaxing time just for yourself.

Seasonal dishes made with the utmost care by a master of Japanese cuisine

The chef takes great pride in using natural ingredients in his cooking, and is particular about the selection of local produce to bring out their freshness and flavor.
Apparently, it sometimes takes more than an hour to go and buy ingredients.
The owner has trained in Japanese cuisine for many years, and his experience and passion are reflected in each and every dish.

Guests can enjoy dishes made with seasonal ingredients, such as wild vegetables and bamboo shoots in the spring, sweetfish dishes in the summer, mushrooms and fungi in the fall, and delicious fish in the winter. Kiseisou is open not only to overnight guests, but also to those just coming for lunch (reservations required), so locals and people from the surrounding area visit Kiseisou in search of seasonal Japanese cuisine.

We also offer banquets and kaiseki cuisine, where you can enjoy dishes made with seasonal ingredients and experience the local ingredients and food culture of the Taiki town area.

The owners are a very welcoming couple

When you open the front door to the inn, your eyes are immediately greeted by a record player and numerous records, and throughout the inn there are many tasteful items, such as paintings by the inn's owner, that reflect the personality and warmth of the couple.
The lineup of records includes Beatles and Carpenters from the 1960s and 1970s.
One way to enjoy Kise-so is to choose your favorite song together with the landlady and have a leisurely chat while basking in the sun.

Since Kiseisou receives many foreign guests, the proprietress of the inn tried and tested various methods to allow them to enjoy traditional Japanese culture.
Apparently, she would also help foreign guests dress in kimonos, take them to a nearby shrine, and guide them through the experience of copying sutras. This is an episode that only the landlady, who has a very warm and kind spirit of hospitality, could have told.

Kiseisou warmly welcomes each and every guest and provides heartwarming memories.
The personalities of the two owners further enhance the inn's appeal, providing guests with a special experience and a memorable experience.

A relaxing time in harmony with nature

Taiki Town, where Kiseisou is located, is surrounded by nature in southern Mie and allows you to interact with local people through your stay at a guesthouse.
The stay in this place, surrounded by the beauty of nature, was a valuable experience that allowed us to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and spend comfortable time in harmony with nature, refreshing both body and mind.

This charming inn allows you to enjoy a slow life away from the hustle and bustle of the city through heartwarming interactions with the local people.
