A long-standing inn run by fishermen

• ⚓The only inn in Takezaki with its own fishing boat, Umezakitei is a long-established ryokan known for fisherman-style seafood cuisine.
• 🦪It runs an oyster farm near the inn, heading out at sunrise to haul in the oysters itself.
• 🌊Seafood landed from the Ariake Sea that day is cooked while perfectly fresh.

Kani no Yu hot spring bath

• ♨️The large bath uses water from the Tara Takezaki Onsen source, a mildly alkaline sodium bicarbonate spring.
• ✨The water feels smooth on the skin, and mineral deposits, a mark of quality spring water, can be seen.
• 🕓Open 16:00-22:00 and 6:30-10:00; listed benefits include relief for neuralgia, muscle pain, poor circulation and fatigue.

Rooms looking across to Unzen

• 🧴Rooms have a bath, washlet toilet, yukata, tea set and air purifier; hair dryers are available to borrow.

Takezaki crab courses

• 🦀Takezaki crab, a type of swimming crab, is enjoyed year-round: males are in season in summer and roe-filled females in winter.
• 🍽️Choose a crab full course with 3-4 crabs per person (may pause in winter), a course with crab, meat and kuruma prawns, or a chef’s-choice course built on the day’s catch.
• 🦪In winter, the inn’s own plump grilled Takezaki oysters are a favorite.

A fisherman’s breakfast

As a fisherman’s inn with its own boat and oyster farm, Umezakitei serves Takezaki crab and oysters straight from the source. There is no mention of an open-air bath, and Japanese rooms are assigned by group size, so an ocean view is not guaranteed.
