HOTEL CULTIA DAZAIFU

Just 30 minutes from Hakata Station lies a serene sanctuary where history and culture transcend time.

This cultural property, over 130 years old, has been masterfully renovated into a luxury 13-room accommodation, breathing new life into its historic mansion and storehouse.

Located in the temple town of Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, this residence creates a unique space where tradition harmoniously blends with innovation.

The dignified gate structure and tiled roof of the Yoshimura family estate convey the elegance of bygone days.

The renovated storehouse, “Kokoan,” offers an immersive experience of traditional Japanese architecture.

From the second-floor bedroom, guests can admire the traditional architectural style that tells the building’s history.

This storehouse preserves building techniques passed down from the Taisho era. Its history as a treasure house for ink paintings is evident in the thick plastered doors and construction marks that remain on the ceiling.

Ascending the wooden stairs from the first-floor living room leads to an attic bedroom that feels like a secret hideaway, offering a unique experience only possible in a historic building.

In the dining area, refined wood design harmonizes with the Japanese garden, while soft light streaming through the windows enhances the architectural beauty.

Here, the essence of French cuisine creates an unparalleled dining experience where tradition meets innovation.
