Three Libraries Where Intellect and Beauty are Stimulated
A famous inn in Yamashiro Onsen reputed for Hokuriku's gastronomy and refined beautiful spaces. Here, three libraries are set up where you can enjoy art while staying. The "Main Library" is a tranquil space holding books on art, architecture, design, crafts, and literature in a minimal black-and-white room. The "Forest Library" facing the mountain garden is a space where books related to plants are gathered, allowing you to enjoy reading in a beautiful environment. And in "Library Zero," which exhibits the large-scale work "Replacement of Zero" by contemporary artist Tatsuo Miyajima and architect Kiyoshi Sey Takeyama, the attempt to read while experiencing art is innovative. It is a rare inn where you can have unique experiences while staying.
