Welcome to Filand (Hirado's old name)
Japanese famous author Ryotaro SHIBA's "Kaido wo Yuku, On the Highways: A Dutch Journey," Nagasaki was "the only light that shone into Japan, like a dark box." How did the 17th-century people of Hirado feel when they experienced the light and wind from the outside, even though it was only for a short period? Imagine the light and wind of old Hirado, respect the people, and travel as if you were living there now. We designed a space that transcends time and space.
Albergo Diffuso is not a one hotel with all the functions in one building, but a "city-wide lodging facility" where you can sleep, eat, drink, etc., scattered throughout the central city of Hirado. We aim to create a nostalgic yet new Hirado city that is fun to walk around. It is a space that combines nostalgia for a glorious era with safety and comfort, such as earthquake resistance and insulation performance.
The Terrace is a rice storehouse built in the Edo period over 200 years ago, which has been renovated into a general reception and accommodation building. The guest rooms have been made of beams and pillars made from black pine trees that are over 200 years old, while also allowing light and breezes to pass through. The exterior walls have been restored to specifications close to those of the Edo period. Your journey to Hirado begins here.
Jinbei Residence is a lodging facility that can be rented as a whole house on the former home grounds of a high-ranking samurai of the Hirado domain. The stone walls remain as they were in the Edo period, and the main building is a renovated wooden house built in the Showa period. You can see the big bridge and the sea from the living room and the tatami room. There used to be a moon-viewing house in the garden, but it has been replaced with a sauna for a more modern look.
In addition, there are restaurants and bars such as "Onchan" and "Chobotei" scattered throughout the city. Albergo Diffuso's efforts will continue to expand. The future of Hirado begins with dialogue with you, who travel as if you were living there. Please enjoy your stay.
