不時從日本文學讀到文人為閉關創作、避暑度假或歲末靜修等理由，入住各地旅宿或別墅的故事，這些文化遺產如今再次成為 Z 世代的旅遊熱點，像宮城縣仙台市南材木町一座私人別莊 HARISO，就以淳樸古風及高端服務為賣點。 HARISO 別有歷史和文化意義。原建築是創立於 1861 年（文久元年）的「針惣家」，最初它並非旅館，而是一間售賣味噌、醬油及蔬菜等糧油小店舖，更曾被用作戰前佃農上繳稻米的接收處兼當鋪。經二次大戰連場空襲，摧毀仙台市中心的大量旅館，加上當時店家與詩人土井晩翠、學者阿部次郎等人的交情深厚，遂將店舖轉型成「針惣旅館」。以樸實裝潢、恬靜氣氛及超過十間客房，招待飄泊的文人雅士，並陸續吸引如政治家市川房枝、「角川書店」創辦人角川源義等名人光臨，成為文藝思潮的聚腳點。至 1987 年，旅館停業及轉為私人住宅，才熱鬧不再。 可幸，令和時代獲新業主接手，並按 2017 年獲佈的「杜之都景觀重要建築物」為前題，保留舊格局及翻新成 HARISO，人們得以再次感受古樸之美。HARISO 為提供住宿、餐廳及交流的複合式空間，每日僅招待一組、最多五位客人，好讓旅客獲得如歸家的鬆馳和自在感。 HARISO 保留明治中期建築特色「海鼠壁」及 1932 年增建的和洋混合式住宅風格，希望喚起旅客思古之幽情。主屋的玄關大門，運用屋頂回收的銅板製成，室內玄關則由溫泉石鋪砌，室內又以混凝土配襯一系列木製家具，風韻古典。舊主屋改造的客房，亦維持十二疊榻榻米佈局，旅客可眺望窗外傳統日式庭院，幻想昔日的文人風雅。 浴室中，以當地溫泉石「秋保石」建成的洗手台，具備良好的保溫性和耐久性，質感溫潤及紋理細緻，配合另一組飛驒檜木製的浴缸，遇熱會緩緩釋放精油香氣，使泡澡體驗更舒爽。 細品當下，每位入住旅客會獲贈迎賓飲料金紋秋田酒、知覧茶和白錫蘭茶，還有傳統倉庫建築改建的法式甜品專門 Oxido 的限定水果軟糖。旅宿期間，亦可前往米芝蓮一星名店 nacree 主廚緒方稔主理的 Yosemite 意大利餐廳，享用火窯烤製的 Pizza 等美食，體驗昔日文學家的風雅生。 HARISO地址：日本宮城縣仙台市若林區南材木町75號官網：https://hariso.jp/zh-TW/ 撰文：K.C. 圖片來源：HARISO ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿活過不白過Follow us on IG：https://tinyurl.com/olomagz Source link
