Announcements
Mt. Mifuneyama came into being three million years ago, rising up from the Ariake Sea.
Much later, 1,300 years ago, the monk Gyoki traveled into these mountains
and filled [them/their caves] with hundreds of Arhats.
In the latter part of the Edo period, Shigeyoshi Nabeshima, the 28th feudal lord of Takeo,
created Mifuneyama Rakuen on a 500,000 m2 site at the foot of the mountain.
Mifuneyama Rakuen Hotel opened for business in 1966 amid these longstanding workings of nature and humans.
To this day, we have protected and inherited the unique nature, history, and culture that was nurtured around the mountain.
In addition, in the pursuit of a new kind of space as we move into the future,
we have turned the lobby into a forest of art so that the hotel may connect and become one with the forest,
with "forest and spiral of resonating lamps – one stroke."
As you pass through this fantastic world, natural light gradually starts to shine in to the building.
You will be greeted by our rooms with their white walls that set off the beauty of nature in each of the four seasons.
We welcome you to enjoy a fresh experience of a present that can only be had here in the forest of Mifuneyama,
where you will encounter both the past and the future, nature and art.

- About the hotel’s lobbyForest and Spiral of Resonating Lamps
in the Forest
- One Stroke - In the lobby of the main building there is an artwork by teamLab, “Forest and Spiral of Resonating Lamps in the Forest - One Stroke.” The lamps respond to the presence of people by glowing, and the light moves from one lamp to another. Be sure to experience it when you pass by the reception desk.

Since the garden was inaugurated in 1845,
it has never stopped marking the passing of the seasons,
right down through history to today
Boasting 500,000 square meters of spacious grounds, Mifuneyama Rakuen is a magnificent pond-promenade garden constructed in 1845, near the end of the Edo period, by the then-lord of Takeo, Shigeyoshi Nabeshima.
Set against the backdrop of the cliffs of Mifuneyama, the garden features hundreds of thousands of colorful trees and flowers that delight visitors by marking the passage of Japan’s four seasons.
