Discover the New OQOQ

A New Era for Talai Bessakan

The historic Talai Bessakan in Tamatsukuri Onsen is embarking on a transformative journey. By September 2025, the renowned ryokan will relaunch under the name "Tamatsukuri Onsen RYOKAN OQOQ." This rebranding reflects a commitment to family-friendly accommodations while maintaining the warm hospitality that has made it a favorite since its establishment.

Under the guiding principle of "Creating Memories that Spark Joy," OQOQ is set to feature an expansive kids' space, an after-bath relaxation area, and a bar lounge. These improvements aim to intertwine the happiness of children, the relaxation for adults, and a nurturing environment. As the first establishment in Shimane Prefecture to achieve the "Welcome Baby Lodging" certification from Mikihouse Childcare Research Institute, OQOQ promises a secure and comfortable experience for families traveling with young ones.

Concept and Vision

The newly minted name OQOQ signifies "hidden excitement," symbolizing unexpected discoveries and rejuvenation awaiting guests as they journey through the establishment. This vision encourages a sense of anticipation, suggesting that each corner of the ryokan holds its own unique delights. With the ambition to create heartwarming memories that linger long after the stay, OQOQ meticulously crafts areas where both children and adults can share joyful moments.

Main Features of the Renovation

1. Kids' Space: Okunomori

OQOQ proudly presents the vast kids' space, Okunomori, which utilizes local Shimane wood to create an engaging environment for children. Designed for both play and learning, Okunomori is set to become one of the largest facilities for children in Shimane, allowing guests to spend quality time with their families.

2. Relaxation Area: Kenyakahiro

Post-bath relaxation is redefined with the Kenyakahiro area, where guests can find wellness amenities and stretching corners. This space aims to rejuvenate the body and mind, providing a refreshing retreat after soaking in the onsen.

3. Night Bar: BAR ~enn~

Opening ahead of the full renovation in July 2025, the exquisite BAR ~enn~ offers a selection of local sake and wine from Shimane, creating a perfect setting for adults to unwind. Guests who book meal-inclusive plans will enjoy complimentary drinks here.

The renovation has been skillfully designed by Sukimono Co., Ltd., a Shimane-based architectural firm dedicated to enhancing local communities while embracing sustainability through natural materials. Their expertise has been fundamental in shaping the renovated environment that promotes regional charm and innovative design.

Welcome Baby Certification

In August 2025, OQOQ will officially receive the "Welcome Baby Lodging" designation. This significant recognition speaks to the establishment's commitment to crafting a safe and comfortable space for families. The comprehensive evaluation ensures that OQOQ meets over 100 criteria set by Mikihouse's Childcare Research Institute, reassuring parents that their needs are prioritized.

Memorial Grand Opening Campaign

In celebration of its grand reopening, OQOQ will offer various promotional activities starting September 1, 2025. Guests can benefit from a discount plan offering 2,200 yen off applicable stays. Additionally, OQOQ invites visitors to share their experiences on Instagram for a chance to win exclusive prizes.

All-Inclusive Experience
