What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
In the midst of all this is Snow Peak Yakei Suite, a luxe glamping concern from the high-end outdoor retailer, centered on back-to-nature refreshment…
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Dense forest surrounds the property 600 meters up Mount Aburayama, just a thirty-minute drive from central Hakata Station.
The rooms
Standalone villas and glamping tents feature semi-outdoor living spaces, wood-burning stoves, and floor-to-ceiling glass turned toward the city lights.
The saunas and baths
Private villa decks hold freestanding Finnish timber saunas and sunken plunge tubs fed by natural Mount Aburayama spring water.
At the table
Guests gather around portable fire pits at the Campfire Lounge for local shochu against twinkling city lights.
How it began
Outdoor brand Snow Peak transformed the slopes of Mount Aburayama into a hillside retreat framed by native forest and sprawling nightscapes.
