Refresh by the River at this Luxurious Boutique Hotel

Relax and recharge at a traditional ryokan resort fit for foreign dignitaries

Arrive at Bettei Otozure—a luxurious venue that hosted a summit between Japan’s Prime Minister Abe and President Putin of Russia in 2016—and what strikes you first is how the tasteful Japanese architecture blends seamlessly into the verdant Yamaguchi peaks. 

Then step inside to a virtual museum, where stunning ceramic artwork and lush gardens await. Each guest room comes complete with its own private open-air bathing area, allowing you to take in the soothing waters and stunning natural vistas in peaceful bliss. 
Gourmets will be just as delighted with full-course kaiseki meals, prepared using fresh-caught ingredients from the nearby ocean.

Further dining, shopping, and entertainment options await at the sister Otani Sanso Inn next door, while historic sites like Tainei Temple and Akasaki Shrine are just minutes away by car.   

Access: From Hakata Station, take the Tokaido-Sanyo Shinkansen to Shin-Yamaguchi Station (about 50 minutes). Bettei Otozure is about one hour by car from the station.
