Spreading out before me is an unedited sea.
All you can hear is the sound of the waves as they are.
“Birth”: The Story Behind the Place Name
.
Once upon a time, the Thirteen Deities set out from Izumo and headed east.
On that occasion, we encountered a storm off the coast of the Nekozaki Peninsula and anchored the boat to take shelter at a spot near the base of the peninsula—right next to this inn.
And it is said that a new, fourteenth deity was born there.
People celebrate the birth of this new god and call this land “Birth.”
A mysterious land woven from myths.
That is “Tanjo no Ura,” where the Okukinosaki Seaside Hotel is located.
Experience it with all five senses.

Takeno Fishing Port is right in front of us. Fresh fish caught that morning are landed daily and served on plates and trays the very same day.
In addition to visiting fishing grounds, we also go directly to local farmers to carefully select our ingredients. Both the rice and the vegetables are sourced from this region.
Shibayama crab in winter, turban shells in summer, and Tajima beef all year round.
The bounty of the Sea of Japan and Tajima, served dish by dish in creative kaiseki meals that reflect the changing seasons.

Greetings
The Birthplace: Okukinosaki Seaside Hotel—Yusuke Iwai, 5th-Generation President
This year, our hotel celebrated the milestone of its 55th anniversary.
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all of you.
On this special occasion, we would like to share “The Story of This Land,” which represents our roots.
Takeno Town, where our hotel is located, bears the marks of a geological history dating back some 80 million years and has long been known by the highly unusual name “Birth.”
It also boasts a history of prosperity as a port of call for Kitamae ships and as a town known for its gold mines. Furthermore, it features a topography rare even in Japan—the “one town, one river, one watershed”—where a single river flows exclusively through this town, from its source to the Sea of Japan. Our hotel stands at the river’s terminus, a mystical place where the myth of “Tanjo” is told.
Based on this concept of “birth,” we designed the interior using Eastern philosophies such as the “cycle of life” and the “principle of yin and yang” as motifs,The space consists of a white-toned area representing “the mother’s womb (tenderness and warmth)” and a black-toned area representing “the journey through the womb (exploration and curiosity).”
We showcase a variety of works on the theme of “Birth” by official artists (OKUKINOSAKI ART PROJECT).Our cuisine is based on the Buddhist concept of “Shichiri Shihō” and features ingredients carefully selected from the local harvest.
Our greatest joy is to see you experience true enrichment of both mind and body during your stay, and to take home the feeling of your own “rebirth.”
Please relax and enjoy your stay.

Okukinosaki Seaside Hotel Co., Ltd.
Representative Director: Yusuke Iwai
: An experience unique to this very place, woven together by art and nature.
OKUKINOSAKI ART PROJECT
Launched in 2020 to mark the 50th anniversary of the company’s founding. Drawing inspiration from the thirteen deities in the “Creation Myth” passed down in Takeno Town, we invited 13 groups of artists active both in Japan and abroad.
Using their own unique artistic styles, each artist has transformed the grandeur of nature and the mystery of this land—the birthplace of life—into works of art.
As you explore the artworks scattered throughout the hotel and your heart is moved, you will become the fourteenth pillar. That is our wish, and it is one of the concepts we hope to offer you during your stay.
Please take your time and enjoy encountering these unique works of art—the crystallization of artistic sensibility—that you can only find here.
