Design Details
- Unique Properties
- This hotel has a semi open air space where you can enjoy the culture of natural hot springs that has been passed down from ancient times in Japan. This space has a timeless design by eliminating unnecessary decorations and combining natural materials.
- Inspiration
- Healing in nature. It is said that entering a natural hot spring enhances the natural healing power that humans originally have.
- Research
- Soaking in a hot spring warms the body and expands blood vessels, especially peripheral blood vessels. When blood vessels expand, blood circulation improves, which makes it easier for fresh blood containing oxygen and nutrients to spread throughout the body, activating the function of carrying waste products and carbon dioxide in the blood. In other words, it improves metabolism and promotes the excretion of unnecessary substances in the body.
- Challenge
- It was a renovation of an old main building over 80 years old, so it was a challenge to a new design while maintaining the structure. Also, the materials used for finishing were Japanese paper, wood, and stone, which are natural materials, so I asked each craftsman.
- Realization and Technology
- We will stay at a hot spring inn and use the effects of the hot springs to treat and recuperate from illness. The design of the guest rooms is a timeless and minimal space, and the beauty of the lush canyon seen from the window is the main character, and the decoration is omitted as much as possible. Kumiko The powerful materials of traditional crafts such as lattice, Japanese paper, and natural stone stimulate the five senses. The semi-outdoor space has a hot spring and a rest space. You can enjoy the hot springs at your favorite time without worrying about your eyes. The breeze from the river heals the mind and body after bathing.
- Operation and Interaction
- Since ancient times, Japan has a culture of using the ingredients of natural hot springs to improve the natural healing power. We have created a guest room where you can enter a private hot spring at your favorite time 24 hours a day. The source of this hot spring springs from the immediate vicinity of the guest room, so it can be provided in a fresh condition.
