A buffet is available offering wonderfully fresh and seasonal seafood, Tajima beef, Yaka pork, and a selection of local vegetables. Saika have made the most of the inn’s location in a town known for its fish, offering a delicious all-you-can-eat menu. In addition, local brand crabs such as Kasumi and Matsuba will be added to the butter throughout the autumn and winter seasons. You can also enjoy a bowl of Takikomi rice with seasonal soup stock, fresh sashimi, and even charcoal-grilled dried fish.

The ICHIJO Jigokumushi is a fascinating area where a large amount of steam can be seen rising from the ground. The area can be used as a lounge, workspace, and reading area outside of meal times. The hall is all-inclusive, meaning you can make the most of the variety of local sake, draft beer, soft drinks, and snacks at no additional charge. 

You can relax in the two private baths, which both boast water from the Kasumi hot springs. The ‘KAI’ bath has an infrared sauna installed, while the SANKEI features a mist sauna, allowing you to chill out while enjoying the fresh hot springs. 

The inn also provides a large communal bath with open air facilities through the Sadasuke sister inn, which is adjacent to ICHIJO.

If you’re looking to heal both body and heart, why not try the meditation room?

Smoothie and soup shop ‘mellow’ will be opening at the same time as ICHIJO. Guests staying at the inn will be able to purchase food and drink from inside the store, while general customers can use the takeout window. The delicious fruit and vegetables used in the food were grown in the San’in region by Saika, who are experienced in agriculture production.

Relax your body and soul with the new ICHIJO inn!

Get your hands on two new premium ice-cream bars available for a limited time only at selected Seven Eleven stores throughout Kanto, Tokai, and Kinki. These luxurious treats went on sale from December 13th and are available in two scrumptious flavours: “Joël Robuchon Chocolat ～Orange & Condensed Milk Sauce” and “Joël Robuchon Strawberry ～Tahitian Vanilla & White Chocolate.”

These tasty ice-cream bars are now available after a two-year long arrangement with Joël Robuchon. The product utilises new methods of mixing ingredients and the sauce together to make a “marble-like” formation. These ice-cream bars are “Like a dessert, with an assortment of flavours and textures that gush inside your mouth like the waves.”

The bars use  “uncompromising ingredients” that include the highest quality chocolate made in France and a vanilla paste made from 100% Tahitian vanilla beans, as well as cocoa beans and freeze-dried strawberries to create an “accentuated texture.” They are the perfect and a rewarding treat for Christmas and New Years, so pick one up from your closest Seven Eleven to feel true happiness in your palms… ♡

These are the kind of treats made possible only by Joël Robuchon and his perfection and originality. Try one yourself this winter.
