Kiichiro Ogawa's Works Release Energy Inside the Building

Auberge eaufeu, which resurrected a closed elementary school as an auberge, has been a hot topic among epicures since its birth in 2022. Not to mention the cuisine by young chef Shota Itoi, who has won numerous domestic and international awards, including the Grand Prix at RED U-35 2018, the art displayed inside is also reputed. 120 works created by contemporary artist Kiichiro Ogawa—who visited the Kanagaso stone quarry, Junigataki waterfall, and Hachiman Shrine in Komatsu City, feeling the energy of the magnetic field of this land—boldly decorate areas from public spaces to guest rooms. Seeing and feeling the works drawn in this land, right in this land, is an exceptional experience. You'll want to fully enjoy that power while staying.
