Hotel Indigo Inuyama Urakuen, a lifestyle boutique hotel nestled in Inuyama — a city in Aichi Prefecture known for two National Treasures — is introducing its Summer Wellbeing Stay Plan starting May 6, 2026. The plan invites guests to unwind through a curated combination of seasonal dining, natural hot springs, and fitness, reflecting the rich landscapes and food culture of the Tokai region.
The dinner course centers on locally sourced vegetables and carefully prepared dashi, with each dish designed to tell a story rooted in the flavors and scenery of the area.
Dinner Menu
Amuse: Braised Winter Melon with Juuroku-Sasage and Kinome Oil
Winter melon is gently simmered to a jade green in shojin (vegetarian) dashi made from dried shiitake and kombu, then paired with juuroku-sasage — a traditional green bean cultivated in Aichi and Gifu — and finished with a fragrant edamame and kinome oil.
Appetizer: Seasonal Vegetable Palette — Garden Style
Vegetables at the peak of their nutritional value according to the 24 solar terms are presented in a colorful, garden-inspired arrangement. A variety of cooking methods and seasonings bring out each vegetable's individual character, layered with the freshness of raw produce.
Soup: Shojin Dashi with Flowering Vegetables
A nourishing broth built on shojin dashi, adorned with flowering and green vegetables. Served alongside a bamboo-leaf-wrapped grilled onigiri seasoned with "yama-uni" — a traditional condiment from the Kawata district of Sabae, Fukui Prefecture — and miso. The onigiri can be enjoyed on its own or poured over with dashi in ochazuke style.
Main: Herb-Roasted Lamb with Lemongrass, Roasted Eggplant Purée, and Spiced Shichimi
Lamb roasted with lemongrass and aromatic herbs, served over a smooth roasted eggplant purée. Spice shichimi from "Konoenya" in Gifu Prefecture adds layers of delicate heat and fragrance.
Dessert: Ruby Lychee Warabi Mochi and Sorbet
The delicate sweetness of ruby lychee is highlighted in a pairing of warabi mochi and sorbet. A cool, silky mouthfeel meets a pleasantly chewy texture, leaving a refreshing finish.
Welcome Herbal Tea
Upon arrival, guests are welcomed in their rooms with herbal tea from Ronnefeldt, a long-established German tea brand. The fragrant tea sets a calm tone for the stay.
Fitness Center and Natural Hot Spring
The hotel's fitness center is available 24 hours a day exclusively for guests. The space features a nature-inspired design with wooden louvers and Japanese motifs, and is equipped with eco-conscious machines that minimize electricity use in favor of water resistance, as well as yoga mats.
The hotel's natural hot spring, Hakutei no Yu, is popular for its skin-softening properties. An open-air bath and an art-filled interior create an atmospheric retreat, accompanied by ambient music for a relaxing soak.
