Dinner was a gourmet kaiseki course, a parade of premium local ingredients such as Shimane Wagyu beef, Oki Matsuba crab, and the prized Nodoguro fish. The indulgence continues at breakfast: a lavish buffet with a wide variety of dishes, including the inn's signature pancakes with a special brown sugar syrup.
