OkuUreshino MUMEIDAKI

Look down on the cascading waterfall from the same height as its crest. Two contrasting rooms, one black and one white. Both overlook the waterfall cascading in the center.

Look down over the cascading waterfall from the same height as its crest. Open the 13-meter-wide window to let the sound of the falls and the breeze flow through the space, with its 4.2-meter-high ceiling.

Uninterrupted windows frame the view, with even the terrace railings made of glass. From both the bed and the bathtub, your gaze leads straight to the waterfall. All 22 rooms open toward the rock face.

The hot spring water comes from a private source on the property. It rises at 200 liters per minute from beneath Ureshino, renowned for its skin-beautifying waters. The water feeds the open-air and indoor baths in all 22 guest rooms. Every bath features free-flowing water directly from the source.

From fish, meat, and vegetables to seasonings such as soy sauce and salt, and even the flour used in our cooking, every ingredient comes from Saga Prefecture. Bordered by the Genkai Sea, the Ariake Sea, and Imari Bay, Saga is also blessed with mountains. We craft each Japanese dish using only ingredients nurtured by this rich natural environment.

The first harvest heralds the season’s arrival, peak-season ingredients offer their richest flavors, and the last harvest captures the season’s lingering essence. Attuned to these subtle seasonal shifts, we bring out the best in each ingredient through slicing, simmering, grilling, steaming, and frying, enriched by the aroma of a wood fire.
