SOIL Nagatoyumoto

Fostering openness, connection, and dialogue between guests, locals, and the environment, this beautifully converted inn offers sublime access to the oldest hot spring in Yamaguchi. The hotel respects the spatial charm of the original building while reimagining it as a modern destination that blends contemporary minimalism with the warmth of traditional Japanese ryokan architecture. Large windows frame the Otozure River, bringing nature into the interiors and reinforcing the concept of “feeling the flow of time slowly.” A world of traditional Japanese craftsmanship completes the authentic picture.
