The Silver Star System is a title given to inns that aim to provide accommodation that is suited to an aging society.
The need for elderly-friendly accommodations is increasing. There is an increasing need for accommodations where elderly people can stay safely, with facilities that take health considerations into account when ordering food, barrier-free facilities, and hospitality in times of emergency.
In this context, with the cooperation of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, the Japan Travel Association has been promoting this system since 1993 with the aim of improving and increasing facilities that are easy for elderly people to use comfortably.
This plan allows you to enjoy Oga's specialty "stone-grilled cuisine" and Akita's brand of wagyu beef, "Akita Nishiki Beef," in a Japanese cuisine course featuring seasonal flavors at a friendly inn.
[Oga specialty stone-grilled cuisine]
Long ago, fishermen who operated their wooden boats on the rough shores of Oga would put the fish they caught, seaweed, and spring onions in a bucket filled with water, then drop pebbles that had been heated over the charcoal fire in the boat's brazier into the water and simmer the food all at once, before adding miso to season it and eating the dish for lunch. In around 1963, the Oga Hotel in Oga Onsen devised and served this dish as a tatami-mat meal, so that tourists could also enjoy fisherman's cuisine with its exceptional flavor made from fresh seafood stock. This "Oga specialty dish to be enjoyed with your eyes, ears and tongue" was born from the hospitality of the Oga people, who wanted visitors to Oga to enjoy the spectacular sound and steam of the water boiling up in an instant, and to be even more pleased.
[Namahage Taiko]
Oga's Namahage is a nationally designated important intangible folk cultural asset that has been registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. Namahage Taiko is an old and new local performing art unique to Oga that combines Namahage with traditional Japanese drums. Oga Onsenkyo holds permanent performances of this heroic Namahage Taiko. Come experience the unique emotion and excitement.
Admission fee: 600 yen *There are closed days and no performance days.
