In Izura, where the modern Japanese scholar and art critic Tenshin Okakura lived in his later years, lies a secret world of rain-fed rice terraces nestled within the coastal forest. Hidden Traces of Rice Terraces Hot Spring has emerged. A night forest museum has been formed by these rice terraces and the surrounding forest. Our glamping and cottages invite you to become one with the starry sky, the sound of the waves, and the forest. We aspire to create a unique experience that allows guests to become one with this place, through the sensations of soaking in natural hot springs, savoring the bounty of the local sea and land, dwelling in the forest valley, and engaging with the art.– Sohki
A natural hot spring fed directly from the source, blended with the ruins of terraced rice paddies. The hot spring features both indoor and open-air baths. The indoor bath is gender-segregated, while the open-air bath is co-ed and requires swimwear. At night, the terraced rice paddies become one with TeamLab's artwork featuring floating lamps.

Cottage
Cottage at the Foot of a Forest
A two-story cottage quietly nestled at the foot of a forest On the first floor, you will find a living room with forest views, a bedroom, a semi-outdoor forest hot spring with a roof, and an outdoor deck extended from the living room. The seasonal beauty of the forest scenes is captured like paintings through the windows for you to enjoy. The second floor features an additional bedroom and a special room, Heaven and Earth Reversible Rotation. By day, Heaven and Earth Reversible Rotation provides an endless panorama of sun-drenched trees; by night, it offers views of the forest, which transforms into a teamLab’s artwork that extends infinitely. This private, otherworldly space allows you to enjoy a cup of tea or meditation amidst the infinite nature. This space can be seen from the upstairs bedroom, offering a view of a microcosm of the forest, framed in a triangle. The exterior is designed to create a visually flattened surface, emphasizing the three-dimensional nature of the forest and providing a striking contrast. As night falls, you can immerse yourself in the forest transformed into an artwork, and enjoy a unique experience of art within nature. It is a sanctuary where you can embrace the continuous changes of nature and feel the passage of nature and time.
