Hoshino Resorts KASUKE Tiantai

“In the wilderness, there is a mountain called Tiantai.” This place once inspired Li Bai to write, “I refuse to live in the dragon tower and phoenix palace, I want to fly straight to Tiantai.” It also immersed Yuan Zhen in the memory of “The immortal carriage first came from Penglai, and met again to talk about Tiantai.” Traveling through ancient and modern times, feeling Tiantai Mountain as described by literati and poets of the past, I finally found my connection with Hoshino Resorts KASUKE Tiantai. 🪸Located at an altitude of about 800m, the white-walled and black-tiled courtyard-style architecture is extremely in line with the Zen realm of "the origin of Buddhism and Taoism". The design concept inspired by the Zen "six roots of purity" allows the simple elegance and modern simplicity to be well balanced here. The window lattices with Chinese character patterns are scattered in a regular layout in every part of the building, and the light transmittance of the hemp grass curtains also gives a hazy feeling to the seasonal scenery here. 🕊️Burning incense, Zen calligraphy, and silent meditation are also experiences here. The hotel regularly arranges cultural experience courses and invites professional teachers to guide them. There are many temples and Taoist temples scattered around, and Guoqing Temple, Xuantong Temple, and Tongbai Palace are all good places to experience the culture. 🪶The hotel's Chinese restaurant continues the characteristics of local cuisine, bringing seasonal vegetables and seafood to the table. The must-try is the pancake roll, with the idea of wrapping everything in rice noodles, which is both affordable and full of flavor. There is also a special horse meat sukiyaki, which is an unforgettable experience with the combination of various vegetables.
