Kyushu, Japan - A Favorite for Both Adults and Children: Mifuneyama Rakuen Hotel

The Mifuneyama Rakuen, loved by both adults and children, is a famous attraction located in Takeo, Kyushu, known for its ship-shaped mountain top and sea of flowers. Cherry blossoms, azaleas, wisteria, autumn leaves... they bloom in succession, making every season beautiful! Especially in May, during the azalea season, the entire mountain top is covered with a colorful sea of flowers, which is quite magnificent and vibrant, making it the best season to visit Mifuneyama. The scenery is vastly different between day and night, and to fully appreciate the beauty of Mifuneyama, it is highly recommended to stay at the park hotel for a night! Mifuneyama Hotel has collaborated with teamLab, integrating the colorful interactive light installation art ingeniously into every corner of the hotel. As soon as you enter the lobby, you are greeted by lanterns twinkling in the darkness, sometimes pink, sometimes deep blue, making it hard to find the reception desk while you're too busy taking beautiful photos XD The hotel offers two different styles of rooms. One is the authentic Japanese tatami room with a garden, the 'Old Pine' room type, which is spacious enough to sleep 10 people, with its own corridor and garden, outdoor hot spring, and Japanese-style bedding. You can even choose to have dinner in the room, so comfortable that you don't want to move. The other area has modern Western-style rooms, but with a very strong design sense, offering a contrasting and fresh style that young people like. Although the Old Pine room has its own outdoor hot spring, it is still highly recommended to visit the public bath, where the men's and women's baths are swapped daily. The public bath also has an outdoor area, and the most special part is the rest area, which is an industrial-style glass building. On the second floor, there is a fireplace for roasting marshmallows, and lounge chairs for enjoying the view outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. A cherry tree is planted right beside it, and watching the pink petals fall into the hot spring pool is incredibly beautiful and atmospheric! The meals are also impressive. Breakfast is served in the public dining area of the hot spring hotel, and it's extravagant, covering the entire table with a lavish spread! It's highly recommended to visit Takeo, not just for a quick look, but to stay a night at Mifuneyama Rakuen, enjoy the flowers, soak in the hot springs, see the teamLab exhibition, and after checking out, visit Takeo Shrine and the library. Along the way, you'll also be surrounded by a sea of flowers, a truly breathtaking sight.
