The Water

In front of Sea of Japan. The ryokan is surrounded by mountains on three sides and the flat land is along the Sanotani River and the Kawakamitani River. Ama-no-hashidate, a sandbar 3 kilometers long and 40 to 100 meters wide, stretched into the bay is near. The area is one of the three most beautiful spots of Japan.

Hekisui Gyoen is traditional Japanese style ryokan and stood in the beautiful Japanese garden. Unlike most Japanese ryokan in a city, Hekisui Gyoen can offer specious rooms and unblocked ocean views from their rooms.
