Monjuso Shourotei is a charming single-story wooden accommodation nestled on a small cape, surrounded by aged trees behind the Wisdom Monju-do Hall. Beyond the lush garden lies the serene waters of Aso Sea and the picturesque pine forest of Amanohashidate, one of Japan's three most scenic views. 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." The late author Hitoshi Yamaguchi also praised Shourotei in his book "Favorite Places," describing it as "completely flat and peaceful. That flatness seems to stretch endlessly. When 'flatness' comes to mind, I feel calm and relaxed... Every Japanese person should experience that perfectly flat scenery at least once."

“Wine & Accommodation Chitose” was reborn in 2000 as an Onsen Accommodation where you can enjoy wine, following the renovation of the long-established Ryokan “Chitose Ryokan,” which has welcomed guests since the mid-Edo period. As the owner is a winemaker, our cellar houses 20,000 bottles—especially from France’s Burgundy region. Our cuisine features local ingredients from Tango whenever possible, highlighting their natural flavors while pairing beautifully with wine. We also pay close attention to every detail in each guest room’s furnishings, blending Japanese and Western styles, modern and retro elements to express owner Hirotaka Yamazaki’s unique vision.

A townscape with a nostalgic charm and time that flows at an unhurried pace. Step out for a stroll, and the scent of the sea carries you away from everyday routines, inviting you to surrender to quiet moments. Another pleasure unique to this area is discovering fresh local seafood landed nearby and regional specialties. One of Japan’s Three Scenic Views, Amanohashidate, is about a 6-minute drive away. Glide through the pine-lined path and take in the scenery as you let the breeze guide you. The striking contrast of sea and sky fills your view, stirring a quiet sense of awe that makes you want to take a deep breath. As you linger in that afterglow, end your day in a calm space where your shoulders naturally relax. The simply and beautifully arranged interiors, along with warm hospitality, gently soothe away travel fatigue.
