Yukio Hashimoto, who designed and designed the interior, set “The view” as the theme.
\nThe view of the endless beautiful seascape and the sea breeze that embraces your body. The dynamic and majestic nature of Abumise takes center stage in the design of the hotel. <\/p>\n

    The shimmering ripples (sazanami) of the Goto sea are projected within the building’s interior.<\/p>\n

    The vaulted lobby welcomes guests. The walls are decorated with dull-mirrored aluminum panels, and the big table in the center is infused with resin, bringing the outside scenery in and allowing the colors of the sea and sky to faintly bleed through.<\/p>\n

    Water basins are installed in some guest rooms and at the approach to the hotel. Depending on the time of day, the sparkle of light is projected onto the walls and ceilings, creating a beautiful tunnel of ripples.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

      Reviving Nagasaki’s glass culture.
      \nBrilliant craftsmanship connected by a small workshop.<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/h3><\/div>

      Since the opening of the port in 1570, Nagasaki flourished as a Portuguese trading port. Western buildings such as churches lined the streets, and various glass products, including stained glass, were imported.<\/p>\n

      In Nagasaki, which can be considered the roots of Japanese glass culture, we collaborated with the workshop “Rurian” to create glasses and vessels used in guest rooms and restaurants. These delicate glass works capture invisible light and shine brilliantly. Please hold them in your hands and experience their beauty for yourself.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

      Saikai Toki Co., Ltd. produces the Hasami-yaki vessels and cups that adorn the guest rooms.
      \nThe Kodama family has been demonstrating their skills as potters in Hasami Town, Nagasaki Prefecture, for generations. In 1946, shortly after the war, the previous generation began peddling ceramics with a single handcart. Eleven years later, the current Saikai Toki was established as a trading company based on the desire to “become a bridge between people and things and enrich people’s lives.”<\/p>\n

      HASAMI PORCELAIN, used in the guest rooms, is tableware jointly developed by Saikai Toki and a designer. The modern design is suitable for both special occasions and daily use, fitting seamlessly into contemporary lifestyles.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

      Amenities are stored in Shaker boxes reminiscent of a church. We provide cleansing oil, lotion, and cream from BSCI, a skincare brand based in the Goto Islands, and strive to reduce plastic by using natural materials for items such as toothbrushes. Furthermore, all electricity used within the building is sourced from renewable energy. As a hotel located within Saikai National Park, we aim to create an environmentally friendly establishment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

        “Letterpress has a certain allure.”
        \nTraditional characters spun by a century-old printing house.<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/h3><\/div>

        Ojika Island is located at the northern tip of the Goto Islands. On this small, remote island in Nagasaki, there is a letterpress printing shop called “Shinkosha” that has been in business for more than 100 years. <\/p>\n

        Along with gunpowder and the compass, letterpress printing is said to be one of the three greatest inventions of mankind. This is a printing technique unique to the olden days in which a plate is made by combining “type” engraved with letters and symbols like a stamp, and ink is applied to the plate to print. The printed surface is uneven to the touch, giving it an exquisite taste and a look that is the result of a great deal of time and effort. <\/p>\n

        Currently, the fourth generation of “Jinkosha” has opened a workshop as “OJIKAPPAN” and is working to convey the charm of letterpress printing to the modern age. In collaboration with OJIKAPPAN, the hotel has prepared an original letter set. As a hands-on activity, you can send a “letter to the future. <\/p>\n

        Printed on the letterheads are the view of Onidake and the starry sky of Got\u014d from the hotel, as well as the word “goto. The letterhead is a one-of-a-kind design created using only letterpress components.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

          Artwork using lava stone
          \nexcavated from the site.<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/h3><\/div>

          Lava stones excavated from the construction site are used for interior decor and artwork. The lava that flowed from Mt. Onidake, which erupted approximately 50,000 years ago, became a powerful land over many years, supporting the lives of the people of Goto. The lava stones that have appeared in this modern space after so much time are symbols of ancient times, making one feel that the past and present are continuous. The stone works were handcrafted one by one by “Arikawa Ki Stone Mason,” a local stone processing business.<\/p>\n

          The exceptionally large lava stone in front of the entrance was the last one excavated from the site. The boldly cut stone provides the original rock (the past), which has marked time, with a surface (the future) that will mark new time from now on. A single crystal, when peered into, captures and inverts the viewer and the surrounding scenery, reflecting a different world.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

          Jacob’s Ladder
          \ndescending upon Abunze.<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/h3><\/div>

          The three photographs displayed in the building are of the scenery from Abunze, where the hotel stands. Light spills through gaps in thick clouds, drawing multiple streaks of light between the sea and the sky. The shimmer on the sea surface runs smoothly across the water.<\/p>\n

          This phenomenon is called “Jacob’s Ladder,” originating from the Book of Genesis in the Old Testament. It is said that Jacob, the patriarch of the Israelites, saw a vision in a dream of a ladder reaching to heaven with angels ascending and descending. The Japanese poet Kenji Miyazawa also described it as a “pipe organ made of light” in his poem “Farewell.” It is a beautiful moment that makes viewers of any era feel a sense of mystery. In the sky and sea of Abunze, which stretch to the horizon without obstruction, this becomes an even more dramatic sight appearing on the sea before your eyes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

          Interior designer Yukio Hashimoto employed washi paper as a material for artwork that expresses the sea and nature of Got\u014d. Daring to use a special paint that naturally cracks as it dries, modern washi paper depicts expressions that cannot be controlled by human hands. The artwork, featuring motifs of the sea, sky, and camellias of Got\u014d, evokes the organic and free nature of Got\u014d.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"100-width.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3998","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\ndesign -
