Designed for effortless gatherings, the space welcomes outside food and drink, offering a relaxed environment for friends to socialize—an expansive experience that goes beyond a standard guestroom.

MIZUBA
On the top floor of the hotel, TAMARIBA extends out to a rooftop terrace known as "MIZUBA"—an open-air sanctuary offering panoramic, 24-hour views of the Kanmon Strait.
Here, guests can immerse themselves in the majestic, ever-changing scenery as the day unfolds: from the bustling daytime maritime traffic and dramatic sunsets that paint the sky and sea in deep crimson, to the glittering night skyline of Shimonoseki across the water and the illuminated Kanmon Bridge.

2. Guestrooms Offering Breathtaking Strait-view
All 119 guestrooms offer views of the Kanmon Strait, where dynamic waters and passing ships frame the windows. A window-side daybed and a round sofa serve as prime vantage points for taking in the breathtaking coastal vistas.
Designed in a blue palette inspired by the strait's waters, the rooms are accented with cushions and artwork crafted from "Kokura-ori," a traditional local textile. Here, the majestic scenery outside harmonizes with the refined textures of Kokura-ori, creating an inviting backdrop for memorable moments with close friends.
“Strait View Sauna Room with Terrace” — A Private Retreat Surrounded by Panoramic Views and Retro Charm
The special "Strait View Sauna Room with Terrace" is a premium guestroom fully equipped with an authentic, private dry sauna. Featuring self-löyly capabilities, it allows guests to infuse the steam with their choice of soothing aromatherapy scents.
Step out onto the private terrace to find a cold plunge bath and outdoor loungers. Cooling down in the sea breeze while taking in dynamic views of the Kanmon Bridge creates an unforgettable, invigorating experience. Free from rigid rules or set hours, guests can unwind entirely at their own pace—whether stretching out on the bed post-sauna or sipping a refreshing drink as they cool off.

3. An Infinity Semi-outdoor Public Bath Connecting to the Kanmon Strait
Located on the top floor, the semi-outdoor public bath features an infinity-edge design where the water appears to merge with the expansive view of the Kanmon Strait. In this open space, which feels seamlessly integrated with the sea, guests can surrender both mind and body to the grand scenery while soothing travel fatigue. From dusk into the night, the bath becomes a prime vantage point overlooking the sparkling lights of ships navigating the Kanmon Strait and the beautiful night view of Shimonoseki on the opposite shore.
4. "Noodle Bar Buffet" Featuring Multinational Noodle Dishes
The restaurant’s concept, "Noodle Bar Buffet," is inspired by the history of Mojiko, which once flourished as an international trading port. This experiential buffet allows guests to customize multinational noodle dishes from Japan, other parts of Asia, and beyond to suit their personal preferences. By freely combining various noodles, soups, and toppings, guests can experience the thrill of crafting their own original bowl. In addition to noodle dishes, freshly baked French toast is served at breakfast, and teppanyaki-style beef is offered at dinner from the live kitchen. With the dynamic view of the Kanmon Strait unfolding right before them, guests can fully enjoy a special, made-to-order dining experience.
