Due to the development of a precipitated shoreline, Yamaguchi Prefecture, located in the southwest of Honshu, Japan, has several islands along the East Sea and Setonaikai beaches. Furthermore, it is a prehistoric site in Honshu's westernmost region that has been affected by continental civilization. "Kai Nagato," Kai's 16th facility, is located near the Akebono Bridge on the Otosure River, which flows through the heart of the Nagato Yumoto Hot Springs, a hot spring along the river surrounded by mountains in northern Yamaguchi Prefecture. It is a resort where you may enjoy Yamaguchi Prefecture's rich culture under the concept of Ochaya Yashiki, which has been around for a long time.
A fighting family culture (known as Muga) is present in the lobby and rooms. Kanagato's room is reminiscent of an opulent, exquisite room reminiscent of an inn where Edo University's prosperity stayed on the trip up to Edo Island, complete with several maids for service. The bed had an elevated floor, and the head of the bed was covered in paper Tokuji Wasi, a Yamaguchi City intangible cultural property. There are four different room kinds, each with its own restrained beauty that is peculiar to Japanese culture.
Yamaguchi prefecture, the birthplace of many prominent figures throughout Japanese history, is known for having a culture of higher education. These renowned figures put ink to inkstone so they could pass down the knowledge they gained later to us. At KAI Nagato, you can write with a brush and ink ground on an inkstone, just like in the old days, and create a lasting memory of your trip.
