Umi no Shougetsu

Perched on a hill on the Chita Peninsula, this retreat offers sweeping views of Ise Bay. Its spacious layout features just 10 guestrooms, including secluded villas that provide an exceptional sense of privacy.

Every guestroom has an open-air bath supplied with water from the Shirasuna-no-Yu hot spring, which rises from approximately 4,265 feet underground. As the sea and sky seem to blend into one beyond the bath, guests can unwind from the inside out, surrounded by the sea breeze and the scent of the trees. Some guestrooms also feature an indoor bath or heated stone spa room, allowing guests to choose the room type that best suits their needs.

Meals feature an abundance of seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, centered on seafood caught around the Chita Peninsula and in Ise Bay. Creative Japanese cuisine incorporating Kyoto-style kaiseki techniques is served on a monthly rotation, offering a varied selection of flavors found only in that season and on that particular day. Both breakfast and dinner can be enjoyed at a leisurely pace in a quiet private dining room.

The property offers a range of facilities to enrich each stay, including a lounge overlooking the sea through expansive windows and a spa salon designed to restore both body and mind. Spending time watching the ever-changing sea and sky while breathing in rhythm with nature promises to be more than a memorable part of the journey—it is an experience that nourishes the soul.
