Shigeru Ban, an award-winning architect, designed the building carefully and in tune with local surroundings as a two-story wooden construction; apparently floating on rice fields that reflect the sky both day and night. As well as comfortable rooms — many of which boast views of the mountains and fields beyond — the Shonai Hotel also has a restaurant serving locally sourced ingredients, a spa and fitness suite, a library and a conference room.
And look no further than the Kids Dome Sorai for your younger family members — the facility has both a playground and an extensive area devoted to crafts and other activities.
