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."

A secluded, adults-only Accommodation where you can enjoy peaceful moments, blending a three-story wooden building from the early Showa era with a modern touch. Ideally located right in front of the entrance is the sightseeing boat pier that crosses one of Japan’s Three Scenic Views, “Amanohashidate.” From each uniquely styled guest room, take in the ever-changing scenery of “Amanohashidate” and the sightseeing boats passing by, then relax in the large public bath renovated in November 2023 and enjoy the skin-friendly alkaline simple Onsen waters of “Nariai Kannon Onsen.” From spring to autumn, savor fresh seafood and wagyu shabu-shabu; in winter, indulge in snow crab dishes—one of the Sea of Japan’s seasonal delights!
