“Birth”: The Story Behind the Place Name .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once upon a time, the Thirteen Deities set out from Izumo and headed east.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\u2014right 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 \u201cBirth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A mysterious land woven from myths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is \u201cTanjo no Ura,\u201d where the Okukinosaki Seaside Hotel is located.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shibayama crab in winter, abalone in summer, and Tajima beef all year round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Birthplace: Okukinosaki Seaside Hotel\u2014Yusuke Iwai, 5th-Generation President<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Welcome to Okukinosaki Seaside Hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My name is Yusuke Iwai, the fifth-generation president.Our hotel was founded in Showa 46 by my grandfather, who fell in love with Takeno Beach at first sight, and we recently reopened after renovations to commemorate our 50th anniversary in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Takeno Beach, which my grandfather fell in love with, captivates us throughout the four seasons with its stunning beauty\u2014the contrast between the blue sea and the white shore, and the light glistening off the waves. We\u2019re also proud to serve dishes made with a strong commitment to locally sourced ingredients, aiming to support local production and consumption as much as possible.We hope you\u2019ll experience the flavors of this region\u2014including the very air itself\u2014with all five senses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a mission to \u201ccreate the most exciting lodging in Tajima (northern Hyogo Prefecture),\u201d we combine the traditions we\u2019ve inherited from previous generations\u2014which we hold dear\u2014with contemporary trends, and approach our daily work with a spirit of constant challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether it\u2019s a one-night stay\u2014or even just a few hours\u2014our hope is that our guests will feel a sense of \u201cexcitement\u201d in their hearts during their time with us, and we will continue to grow and improve.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

OKUKINOSAKI ART PROJECT<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Launched in 2020 to mark the 50th anniversary of the company\u2019s founding. Drawing inspiration from the thirteen deities in the \u201cCreation Myth\u201d passed down in Takeno Town, we invited 13 groups of artists active both in Japan and abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using their own unique artistic styles, each artist has transformed the grandeur of nature and the mystery of this land\u2014the birthplace of life\u2014into works of art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please take your time and enjoy encountering these unique works of art\u2014the crystallization of artistic sensibility\u2014that you can only find here.<\/p>\n\n\n\nView the OKUKINOSAKI ART PROJECT<\/span>\n<\/path>\n<\/svg><\/span><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
