Goto, an island of prayer, where people kept their faith despite the prohibition of Buddhism.
We empathize with its strong and flexible way of life and gain vitality for tomorrow.
Beyond the geopark that erupted 50,000 years ago from the mouth of a demon, a theater of sea and sky unfolds from ancient times.
A space where you will be taken in by the scenery and your mind will be liberated.
Japanese cuisine that makes abundant use of seafood, beef, and island vegetables.
The scent of the sea, the wind of Gotō, and the eternal sky.
The past and future are connected, and where there is light, there is shadow.
The island of prayer, an inn of light. 26 rooms in total with ocean view and open-air bath.

The panoramic ocean view seems to envelop you in the horizon.
The light that sometimes shines through the clouds washes your heart like an angel.
The theater of eternity, which people of the past must have gazed upon, can also be seen from the 24-hour outdoor baths.
Five types of rooms are available, ranging from spacious rooms with a capacity of four persons to rooms for single persons.
Gotō is also a mecca for seafood, and because it is a remote island, various agricultural products are also ‘locally produced’, such as the fantastic Gotō beef. The chef searches for seasonal ingredients from all over the island out of respect for the producers. The chef offers ‘light Japanese cuisine’, which is a combination of these ingredients and the essence of ray.

The treatment is performed on the mind, skin, and body while being enveloped in the essence of camellia, which has grown wild on Gotō since ancient times, and other plants grown on Gotō and Nagasaki, as well as original aromas inspired by the land of Gotō. The treatment approaches daily fatigue, stress, and stagnant energy. We also offer a full-scale skin care ON&DO facial based on the concept of warm skin and a Vichy shower menu to provide you with an extraordinary spa experience.
A wide variety of activities such as stained glass, oil pressing, folk music, cycling, and cruises are available for visitors to experience the charm of Gotō, which is located within the Saikai National Park.
