Experience the ever-changing beauty of Japan's nature through different times of day and seasons in this tranquil retreat far removed from worldly noise.Beloved by many literary figures, this accommodation was named "Shourotei" by writer Giichi Fujimoto, who reflected on "the dew that forms on the tips of Amanohashidate’s pine leaves and how it deepens human connections at this travel lodge."

When 'flatness' comes to mind, I feel calm and relaxed... Every Japanese person should experience that perfectly flat scenery at least once."
