On April 20, almost the entire building of Hotel ISAGO Kobe (Chuo-ku, Kobe), a ryotei ryokan in Rokko Nunobiki Onsen, underwent a complete renovation.
Suite “ZEN the SUITE
The theme of the renewal was “a place where you can be at home. The renovation was the most extensive in the hotel’s 75-year history, with the hotel closed for more than three months.
The world’s first “trick Kumiko
The symbolic “Kumiko” at the entrance is the first time a guest has experienced the inn. The entranceway, where guests first experience the inn, was commissioned to K-INO (Inomata Bijutsu Kenkuten) of Niigata, because they wanted to use traditional Japanese techniques to welcome guests. It took about six months to create this handmade work. It is probably the first automatic door in the world to use Kumiko!
Plaster objet d’art “Suna-no-tsuki” installed at Ryotei Hucho
Ryotei Butterfly, the original ryotei ryokan, was also completely renovated. The walls were painted by a professional plasterer, Mr. Keiichi Yamamoto, who paints walls with a single trowel.
The dining room is now a private room.

Creative cuisine using Kobe beef

Private hot spring (Rokko Nunobiki Onsen) completed in the first phase of construction (2022).
At the private hot spring, guests can enjoy a full 90 minutes of Rokko Nunobiki Onsen, which is said to be a hot spring for beautiful skin. In addition, all 25 guest rooms have been renovated into Japanese-style guest rooms, creating a high-quality hot spring hotel with a “wood, earth, and air” feel. <A word from the reporter:
While the Corona Vortex deprived the guests of their daily lives, they could not forget the sight of the guests smiling as they sat around the table, and this scene inspired the renewal under the theme of “a place where you can be at home. There is also a private bath with a bar counter and a lounge on the top floor.
