Seeking the Spectacular Views of Amanohashidate Celebrated in Myth and Literature

Located on the Tango Peninsula in northern Kyoto Prefecture, Amanohashidate is one of Japan’s Three Scenic Views. The 3.6-kilometer sandbar, dotted with thousands of pine trees, stretches across Miyazu Bay and Aso Sea, forming a "Bridge to Heaven" that has inspired Japanese poetry and mythology for centuries.

Amanohashidate is about two hours from central Kyoto by express train, with a free shuttle from Amanohashidate Station to the villa. Ine Fishing Village, famous for its rows of funaya boathouses along the coast, is roughly 30 minutes away by bus.

Enjoy Ever-Changing Ocean Views

Fully Equipped for a Carefree Stay

Bedroom

The two bedrooms are equipped with four single beds, accommodating up to six guests. Both rooms offer views of the courtyard and terrace overlooking the ocean. The meticulous design, reflecting a distinctly Japanese aesthetic, evokes the beauty of nature and the changing seasons.

Private Dining

The private dining room carries the polished atmosphere of an open kitchen in a fine restaurant. Your personal chef prepares each dish in front of you, creating a lively sense of anticipation as you enjoy a range of inventive courses. The expansive view of the Sea of Japan through the large windows brings an added layer of elegance to the experience.

Open-Air Hot Spring

One of the highlights of Auberge Villa-KUON is the chance to enjoy the rare Kin Onsen and Gin Onsen in complete privacy. Kin Onsen, known for its high salt content and light iron scent, is valued for its warming and moisturizing qualities. Gin Onsen, drawn from carbonated springs, feels soft on the skin and is often called bihada no yu, or water for beautiful skin.

Private Pool

The terrace includes a private pool, open during the summer months. Spend a morning with a cup of coffee as the sun rises or host a poolside BBQ. Relax while listening to the waves and feeling the gentle ocean breeze.
