Facilities

Galleria Midobaru stands on an ancient plateau at the edge of Beppu, the hot spring capital of Japan. Here, the breeze, the light, and the sound of running water all draw you into the vast landscape of Beppu. Everything you see and touch was selected for its natural and sustainable qualities, its proximity to this very special place, and for its sense of craftsmanship and artistry.

ENTRANCE

An open entrance filled with natural light

As you pass through a doorway in the thick outer wall, you enter a world separate from everyday life. You become sensitive to the sound of sparkling water in the fountain and the subtle changes of light and shadow as the unique atmosphere envelops you.

LOBBY

The beginning of a new kind of travel. A lobby suffused with art

The lobby lets you become one with the scenery. Stepping inside, you will encounter the landscape of Beppu reflected in the sparkle of the fountain, the paintings on the walls, and the carefully placed sculptures. The interior walls are made to seamlessly blend with the exterior, and the ceiling retains the natural texture of Kyushu conifer.  Brass plate washed with hot spring water is used for the reception area, adding a sense of depth and warmth.

CORRIDORS

The more you wander, the more you discover. A new alley experience

The passageways connecting each guestroom and each section of the hotel feels like going through a portal, creating a new alley experience in Beppu. A complex chain of axes and openings, with dappled light pouring in through the surrounding latticework, creates a chain of sequences that reveal and obscure the landscape leaving visitors with a sense of wandering in a magical labyrinth.

ROOMS

The rooms are designed to be as simple as possible, leaving space for the warmth of the artwork and the artist’s hands to fill them. We have focused on materials that create a comfortable atmosphere, such as a bathtub carved from stone, furniture made of Japanese oak, and a wooden deck made of Oita cypress. Similarly, the walls and ceilings use shell ash plaster, a sustainable material.

WAGYU STEAK THE PEAK

Built with sustainability in mind, our restaurant allows diners to casually enjoy a menu that brings out the best of the local ingredients as they change with the seasons. The custom-built stone oven at the center of the restaurant has a copper-sheet roof that adds an essential texture to the food and the space. The interior and furniture are made from sendan, a Kyushu hardwood, and the walls are finished with straw-ground shell ash charcoal plaster.

HOT SPRING BAR

A gorgeous and lively place reminiscent of the lively streets of downtown Beppu, the Hot Spring Bar is an ideal setting for social gatherings. The walls are made of brass plates washed with hot spring water, while the bar itself consists of a single solid piece of Japanese walnut. The herringbone parquet floor is also made of Japanese walnut, for a simultaneously warm and stunning texture.
