The dishes vary with the season, as ingredients become available at their peak freshness and flavor, sourced from local farms, the nearby mountains and the bountiful waters of the Seto Inland Sea.
Most meals are served in the guest rooms, and there is also a restaurant, Yusai, with private, intimate dining rooms that seat two to four diners each; some of these can be connected to seat larger parties.
