KAI Izumo

This is a project of a hot spring inn newly opened in Izumo City, Shimane Prefecture.
On the west side of the facility, you can see Hinomisaki Lighthouse, which is the tallest stone lighthouse in Japan. ", a book lounge, a restaurant, a large public bath with an open-air bath, and a total of 39 guest rooms.

Since the facility is close to Izumo Taisha, it is easy to understand the connection and story with Izumo Taisha and mythology, and since there are two facilities of the same brand in Shimane Prefecture, we will add the charm of natural elements that are unique to the Hinomisaki area where the facility is located. I received a request that I want you to change it.

We expect guests to visit Izumo Taisha Shrine, and in response to the psychological need to purify themselves before and after their visit, we came up with the concept of "Sea Color Purification," incorporating the idea of a stay where you can purify your body and mind with the ever-changing colors of the Sea of Japan.
The western-facing guest rooms feature an indigo-tinted living area, concept design the orange color of the sunset appear even more beautiful.
The east-facing guest rooms are based on the motif of the mysterious dawn colors of the Sea of Japan, and feature walls made of Sekishu washi paper dyed dawn blue with red ochre by local artisans, creating a pure space with materials and colors that are characteristic of Hinomisaki.

The entrance is very symbolic and has become a very popular photo spot for customers.
In addition, by reflecting the intentions of local artists in the setting and telling the customers the background to the creation and the story of the work, there are many people who are very interested and interested in Shimane's culture. increase.
On both the lighthouse side and the sea side, we have received very high satisfaction with the installation that matches the change of time due to the scenery.
