Kifune is an inn that offers
home-like hospitality.

Continuing from over 30 years ago,"木船" (Kifune) , is a small family-owned and run inn.
Not only do we aim to create an ideal relationship for families and guests, but we also offer home-like hospitality.

We offer truly delicious and moving cuisine, and we continue carrying on our business while exploring new recipes. In our cuisine, the vegetables we mostly use are raised in our own personal vegetable garden. Because these vegetables are raised without using many pesticides and chemical fertilizers, they are good for the body.

From fall to winter, our full-course of crab is popular. Also, beef and fish dishes can be enjoyed year round.

"木船" (Kifune) is the original name, but this place was given this name from a place called "木船" (Kifune). A long time ago, this area was a cove. A boat made from wood was anchored here, so '木船' (Kifune lit. wood boat) became the name of the area." Or so as the Legend goes.
