"A contemporary seaside ryokan in Beppu designed by Kengo Kuma, the building is clad in charred cedar (shō sugi ban) and embraces the town’s vibrant onsen culture with private balcony ofuro tubs, a landscaped ground-level onsen, and a hanging glassy infinity footbath rich in hydrogen carbonate. The property channels onsen-town energy with an in-house street food market and nightly rhythmic onsen jug band performances." - Yukari Sakamoto, Adam H. Graham
