CORASITA

Stay

About

  • Stay

    At the foot of Mount Gion, which is said to have risen four hundred and thirty million years ago, the birthplace of Kyushu Island in Gokase Town, Miyazaki Prefecture, stands Auberge CORASITA.
    Our inn, built in 1974, was transformed from the owner's childhood home. It has a limited accommodation for two groups per day, overlooking the source of the Gokase River, where the 'Myoken Shin-sui' springs through the strata formed over four hundred million years ago.
    (Auberge, in French, means 'stayable restaurant')

  • Cuisine

    Prepared by the owner, who holds the qualification of an Italian cuisine researcher, you can enjoy authentic Italian home-cooked dishes passed down by Italian mothers using our homegrown Italian tomatoes, from San Marzano Reserve, which can only be tasted at CORASITA.

What is Corasita?

「Yo~Corasita Hey~」
From Gokase Town's dialect, it means "Welcome, you have arrived" and is used to welcome customers.

About Gokase Town

Gokase Town is situated in the almost central part of Kyushu, featuring a range of mountains with elevations ranging from 1,200 to 1,600 meters. On the other hand, it also boasts gentle hilly terrain from where you can overlook the mountains of Aso.
Despite being in tropical Miyazaki, Gokase Town is home to Japan's southernmost natural snow ski resort. Many skiers from both within and outside the prefecture visit this area.
Gokase Town, with its rich Satoyama landscape, traditional agriculture and forestry practices, and captivating culinary culture, has been recognized and certified as a World Agricultural Heritage site in the "Takachiho-no-Ko and Shiibayama Region."
