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 8 seats are available for the teppanyaki (grill) service where carefully selected local ingredients of Kyushu are stylishly presented and prepared right before you. Seated in special chairs and gazing upon the Japanese garden spread out before you, you are sure to have an exceptional time whether you choose our Ladies Lunch (a delight for the eyes, palate and heart alike) or our Special Course (a sumptuous repast).

Here, only in this hotel are you able to enjoy exquisite sweets amidst the seasonal spirit exuded by our traditional Japanese garden, over 130 years old. In the lounge, forget the bustle of the city. You'll find yourself fascinated by the greenery, breathing deeply and sinking into the stillness of the night. Please do not hesitate to make use of the facilities.

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.
