A truly satisfying evening with seasonal kaiseki cuisine from the countryside.
Supporting the dining experience at Fukumoto-kan are fresh vegetables delivered every morning from the local area and neighboring regions, and seasonal ingredients that reflect the breath of each season. Rather than attracting attention with flashy presentations, the dishes here quietly bring out the inherent power of the ingredients, allowing the nourishing flavors to gently permeate the body.
Among their offerings, the signature "wild boar hot pot" is a dish carefully prepared using the bounty of the mountains. The deepening flavor with each bite seems to gently soothe the mind and body that have relaxed during your travels. Each dish is prepared with care, using seasonal vegetables as both the main ingredient and a supporting player, and depicting the changing seasons with all five senses.
It evokes a sense of nostalgia, yet it is undeniably refined. This is a meal to be savored slowly in quiet time, while enjoying the lingering feeling after a bath.
A journey to radiant skin, enveloped in the healing power of one of Japan's Top 100 Hot Springs.
Fukumotokan's pride and joy is its hot spring, which has been selected as one of Japan's 100 best hot springs and is renowned for its beautifying properties.
While only Yugawara and Nanasawa in Kanagawa Prefecture have been selected, our inn uses two hot spring sources, ensuring a constant supply of fresh water. The spring water is highly alkaline with a pH of 9.9 or higher, gently removing old dead skin cells and excess sebum like soap, bringing out the skin's natural beauty.
Furthermore, it is rich in metasilicic acid, which is said to have high moisturizing effects, and the smooth, radiant skin you get after bathing is truly amazing. The water, with its silky smooth texture, has been loved by many people for many years as a "beauty bath."
It also has a neutralizing and conditioning effect on the skin, and is said to not only relieve daily fatigue but also help keep the skin healthy.
Please come to our inn and let your mind and body slowly unwind while being enveloped in the finest hot springs nurtured by nature.
