Shonai Hotel Suiden Terrasse

In early summer, the ornamental rice planted around the hotel turns bright green. There are 3 guest room buildings on the site, and 119 guest rooms of various types, from twin to family types.

Famous Architecture Surrounded by Paddy Fields and the Original Landscape of Japan

A hotel designed by architect Shigeru Ban to appear to float on paddy fields, making the rural landscape of the Shonai region in Yamagata Prefecture resonate with the design. In the background of the building, which has sublimated the original landscape of Japan into modern beauty, spreads the rich nature of the Shonai region, nurtured by snowmelt water from the Three Mountains of Dewa, which have attracted worship since ancient times. The concept of the restaurant overlooking Mt. Gassan is "Farm to Table." You want to fully enjoy the deliciousness of local production for local consumption using local ingredients, along with the peaceful scenery.
