Ryokan Shinsen is a Japanese inn in Takachiho, Miyazaki, a town associated with Japanese mythology and close to Takachiho Gorge. Rooms are spread across a main building, five detached villas (Kamurogi no Sho) and a two-room annex (Kamiba), and each has either a private open-air bath or an all-hinoki (cypress) bath; the corridors are laid with tatami and the grounds include a Japanese garden. Dinner is Kyoto-style kaiseki featuring Takachiho and Ozaki beef, served in private dining rooms, and the landlady, a qualified sommelier, offers champagne and wine to match. Free yukata dressing is offered.
