Ryokan
A ryokan (旅館?) is a type of traditional Japanese inn that originated
in the Edo period (1603–1868), when such inns served travelers along
Japan's highways. Our location, Gorahanaougi, features Tatami-matted
rooms, public areas where visitors may wear yukata and areas to
experience the local Hot Springs. Traditional Japanese cuisine is included
with each room.

Le Champagne
The only Wine Restaurant by Relais & Châteaux at sea can be found aboard the ships of Silversea. Indulge in an evening where fine wines are complemented by a set tasting menu of regionally inspired dishes. An extraordinary six-course experience celebrating the world’s most distinguished wine regions.
