Hyakuna Garan is a hotel that immerses you in an environment that’s as memorable, in its own way, as central Tokyo or the mountains of Honshu: the subtropical southern coast…
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Perched on a quiet cape in Nanjo, the secluded grounds look across coastal waters directly toward the sacred shores of Kudaka Island.
The rooms
Oceanfront suites open to private balconies, while the signature Hakuin suite features Ryukyu tatami floors and a fragrant hinoki cypress bath.
The rooftop baths
Six private rooftop pavilions house open-air soaking tubs and tatami tearooms gazing out over the Pacific.
Restaurant
Dining Kanro
Floor-to-ceiling windows and an open timber terrace look across the water, serving multi-course kaiseki with local awamori.
At the table
Tatami dining rooms open onto ocean-facing balconies, serving regional seafood and dishes prepared with fresh mozuku seaweed.
How it began
The layout draws from Zen temple architecture, constructed with native Ryukyu limestone, natural timber, and red akagawara roof tiles.
