As you pass through the beautiful blue gradient noren, which represents the theme color of "Toki," your unique time begins in a serene and modern Japanese space. We invite you to spend this cherished time with your loved ones.
Because of its spectacular location in front of the ocean, the rooms are all designed with blue as a base color, and each has its own unique characteristics. Each room is named after the blue color of the ocean, which changes with the season, time of day, and the amount of sunlight.

The view from the terrace in the center house is a spectacular sight that will make you forget your everyday life, and you will definitely feel good while soaking in the sea breeze. During the summer, you can see fireworks from the sea right in front of you, which is a spectacular sight. The center is booked up quickly during the Bon festival season.
For meals, guests can enjoy original courses that are locally produced, locally consumed, and genre-independent.

One of Kisara's most popular services is the rental of colored yukata. Women are happy to be able to choose a yukata of their choice. It is no wonder that Kisara is so popular as an at-home, easygoing, and relaxing ryokan.
“Kisara Oneness" is a secluded resort villa overlooking Toba Bay from a hilltop location.
The rooms are finished "as is" with wood to give a sense of oneness with nature, and the CLT construction method is used to keep the rooms cool in summer and warm in winter.
Building materials and furniture are made of wood from Mie Prefecture, quilts are made of green down by Kawada Feathers using recycled feathers, and many environmentally friendly products are used, including tableware made of recycled materials. Lampshades from REMARE, a company that recycles marine plastic waste that has washed ashore in Toba Bay, are placed by the bedsides. The lamp, which expresses the wish to "leave the sea clean forever," gently illuminates the room. The rooms are designed to be a sustainable facility that is in keeping with the concept of being at one with nature, as there are no televisions in the rooms. The facility is a comfortable space where you can touch and see everything that is "sustainable," "ethical," and "a wonderful part of Mie Prefecture.
Checking in and checking out at Oneness is done differently. With a single smartphone, you can lock and unlock the door at the time your reservation is confirmed, using a non-contact system. This allows you to check in at any time, any place, and with as few staff members as possible, making your stay feel like you are visiting a vacation home.
The rooms are equipped with a kitchen and dining room, and you can also enjoy BBQ on the wooden terrace with an L-shaped awning. Dinner is already prepared and set for you to eat as you enter your room. The refrigerator is fully stocked with soft drinks and alcohol. Instructions on how to heat up and cook the food are also provided.
And the best part is the private SPA Ryu -Ryu-, which can be used free of charge by guests. Surrounded by trees, the SPA is like taking a forest bath. The SPA is built with a sense of openness so that you can watch the sky change from moment to moment.
