ART HOTEL Kokura New Tagawa

A Japanese restaurant loved by people of all ages has deepened its appeal in becoming a gem of a Japanese/Western buffet. While you absorb the seasonally shifting atmosphere exuded by the Japanese garden, your chef will recommend and creatively prepare right before you a variety of exquisite seasonal dishes that can only be fully appreciated locally. Enjoy the experience to your heart's content.

Only eight seats are available for the teppan-yaki (grill) service where carefully selected ingredients are stylishly presented and prepared right before you. Experience the luxury of feasting on the bounty of the land and sea with a garden in the background. We prepare one-of-a-kind dishes in a unique atmosphere for anniversaries and other special occasions.

Enjoy a quiet calming time in a bright relaxing space with a view of the Centennial Garden.
We welcome you to enjoy our patissier’s handmade cakes and a variety of beverages.
A selection of books, including new publications, is also available. It can also be enjoyed as a book cafe.

On the 2nd floor are 2 premium rooms. Each room accommodates 8 persons. On fine days, a perfect place to enjoy a precisely planned and skillfully prepared traditional Japanese banquet, combination of Japanese and Western-style courses, or a Western-style course while gazing upon the elegant seasonal scenery of the garden. On particularly formal occasions, the rooms will create deep and lasting memories of elegance.

Nestled into the Japanese garden stretching over 2,300 square meters, especially impressive is the Japanese style “Hanare” (detached private room) weaving together history and tradition. Stately Shogetsutei can play host to banquets great and small, and it is well-suited for any occasion, from business dinner to family anniversaries and memorial services. In the afternoon you can enjoy the healing warmth of the greenery, and at night the beautiful illumination. Taste the delicious kaiseki (Japanese multi-course meal) prepared by our master chef using the freshest seasonal ingredients.
