"Providing an Overwhelming Extraordinary Experience" - Becoming a Destination Ryokan

The Kinnotake Group's logo features the motif of "bamboo," which has been an　inseparable companion to the Japanese people throughout history. Archaeological evidence of bamboo products dates back to the Jomon period (ca. 10,500–8000 B.C.) , and bamboo has been deeply rooted in Japanese life and culture - from agriculture and fishing to traditional arts like tea ceremony and flower arrangement, musical instruments such as flutes and shakuhachi, and martial arts equipment like shinai and bows.

Bamboo embodies three remarkable characteristics: "Diversity" - with approximately 600 species in Japan and 1,200 worldwide; "Growth Velocity" - with records showing growth of up to 120 cm per day; and the "Inherent Power of Bamboo" - which has inspired mystical tales like the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter and continues to captivate with its mysterious charm and strength.
