The attraction is the food
It's hard to decide what to choose. The pleasure of eating is beyond imagination.

Meals can be combined with your room and guests can choose from four delicious dining options.
In the 550m2 Japanese-style main dining room with an open kitchen, you can enjoy a superb dinner buffet for adults prepared by the executive chef who oversees JAL's first-class in-flight meals. The menu is packed with delicious dishes, including seafood from the Hokuriku region, sushi, freshly grilled domestic beef steaks, freshly fried tempura, and local specialties.
The dining restaurant "Fukuraku," which opened in 2022, is a space where you can enjoy Fukui ingredients such as the "A5 rank Wakasa beef shabu-shabu kaiseki." Free "self-pairing" with drinks is also available.
At the modern private room restaurant "Yuzen," where the award-winning executive chef and Japanese cuisine chefs show off their skills in the Japanese Cuisine category of the Skill Grand Prix, you can enjoy the colorfully presented "Monthly Yuzen Kaiseki" with a lively atmosphere. You can also enjoy the local sake from Fukui recommended by the proprietress, who is a sake sommelier, and the wine recommended by the managing director, who is a wine sommelier.
Guests staying at the villa Kotobuki-tei will be served a monthly "Kotobuki Kaiseki" meal prepared by a dedicated chef in a private Japanese-style restaurant that opened in 2023. The freshly prepared dishes brought out one after another from the private kitchen are full of fresh seafood from Echizen and seasonal ingredients from the mountain villages. They are truly delicious. Guests staying on the first floor of Kotobuki-tei can also choose to dine in their rooms without any worries.
