A 70㎡ Fully Private Villa at SHIKI ART HOTEL YUFU | Stay in a Museum

Villa Lucid is a fully private villa at SHIKI ART HOTEL YUFU, built around the concept of a "Stay in a Museum." Designed in a striking black palette with cool, sophisticated interiors, it surrounds you with works by Hiroshi Sugimoto and other renowned Japanese artists — all yours alone for the duration of your stay.

Because the entire villa is exclusively yours, you can relax without worrying about other guests and enjoy a peaceful stay surrounded by art and Japanese craftsmanship.

Living Room

A striking black palette grounds the room — dark walls, considered furniture, a soft sectional facing the high-performance 4K projector. Premium speakers, a Cassina table, Knoll seating. Stream Netflix, YouTube, or Prime Video, or gather around the Nintendo Switch for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and Mario Party Superstars. Designed for slow evenings and full-house gatherings.

Dining Room

A long wooden dining table sits under warm pendant lighting. Wine glasses, champagne flutes, ceramics, and candles wait in the cabinets nearby. The kitchen is just a few steps away, making this the natural place for breakfasts that take time and dinners that linger.

Bedroom 1 — The Primary

A queen-sized bed dressed in linen, framed by the villa's cool black-and-wood palette. Works by Hiroshi Sugimoto and other renowned Japanese artists hang in a quiet line on the wall. A bamboo pendant overhead, and a tatami corner with a low table set for the first tea of the day. Designed for slow waking and unhurried evenings.

Bedroom 2

Two double beds in a calm, light-filled room with the same considered black-and-wood palette. Well-suited for families, friends, or anyone in the group who appreciates their own quiet space. Linen, towels, and yukata are provided for every registered guest.

Kitchen

A fully equipped kitchen designed for everything from a quick breakfast to long, slow dinners — 2-burner IH cooktop, full cookware, tableware for eight, microwave, toaster, dishwasher, electric kettle, refrigerator, wine cellar, and a washer-dryer. The complimentary tea and coffee bar is stocked

Bathroom & Toilet

A modern bathroom in the same cool palette as the rest of the villa, with a separate shower stall and a quiet dressing area. The toilet is fully separate from the bath — for comfort and privacy when the villa is full. Full-size amenities — bath towels, face towels, hand towels, toothbrushes, cotton swabs, cotton pads, razors, hair ties, and facial masks — and yukata for room wear are provided. A washer-dryer is also on hand.

Architecture & Interior Spaces

Between the main rooms, the villa unfolds as a quiet sequence of considered spaces. The black-and-wood palette carries through every passage; the staircase to the second floor is built as an architectural feature in its own right, with calm proportions and uninterrupted surfaces. Walls stay deliberately considered — treated as canvases for the artworks they hold. Even at full occupancy, the villa breathes.

Exterior

A two-story villa wrapped in a striking black exterior. Behind the gated entrance, a peaceful private Japanese garden built around traditional elements — pine trees and Iyo blue stones. Past the wall: the pedestrian streets of central Yufuin. Completely private, entirely yours.
