About the facility
Enjoy a special time at a private hot spring villa with a garden where you can enjoy Kengo Kuma's architecture and contemporary art.
COMICO ART HOUSE YUFUIN is a hot spring villa where you can enjoy Kengo Kuma's architecture, contemporary art, and the nature of Yufuin all at once. The two guest rooms are themed around the natural materials of "earth" and "bamboo," and are spaces that allow you to feel the potential of these materials. During your stay, you can enjoy the works of Japan's leading contemporary artists, Yoshitomo Nara, Takashi Murakami, Hiroshi Sugimoto, and others, at the adjacent contemporary art museum, COMICO ART MUSEUM YUFUIN. Enjoy your stay to your heart's content in a space that will soothe your weary mind and stimulate your five senses.
The garden overlooking the moon rising in the eastern sky was named Waiting for the Moon Garden.
You can feel the coolness of the bamboo even before entering the building.
In response to the roughness of the straw mat on the plastered walls, the ceiling and fittings are covered with thin Awa paper, through which the bast fibers can be seen. The space, resembling a hut surrounded by earth and fibers, exudes an atmosphere of unity with the nature of the garden.
The walls are finished with Echizen washi paper, which has a delicate, smooth, undulating texture that brings out the suppleness and luster of the bamboo.
