Seiryuan: A Hidden Sanctuary of Tranquility – Muzen – In each moment, something timeless.

In the historic castle town of Akizuki, Fukuoka, where time seems to stand still, lies Seiryuan – a sanctuary where tradition meets modern comfort.

Welcome to a special space where traditional craftsmanship harmoniously blends with contemporary hospitality. Like a scene from an ancient painting come to life, this enchanting establishment captivates visitors from the moment they arrive.

As you pass through the substantial gate, you enter a world apart from everyday life.

Moss-covered stone paths and the gentle flow of clear water guide you to another realm. The Japanese garden, illuminated by ever-changing light, creates a unique space where time seems to flow at its own peaceful pace.

From the main hall, guests can enjoy seasonal views of the Japanese garden while savoring cuisine prepared with the finest seasonal ingredients.

The delicate beauty unique to traditional Japanese architecture can be found throughout – from the sound of wind chimes under the eaves to the scent of tatami as you walk along the corridors, and the soft light filtering through shoji screens. All these elements allow guests to experience Japanese beauty through all five senses.

Exclusive Guest Rooms

Each of the six guest rooms is an artistic space in itself. The fragrance of tatami, a single flower arranged in the alcove, and meticulously crafted fixtures create an extraordinary atmosphere rarely experienced in daily life. Each room showcases the expert craftsmanship of sukiya-style architecture.
