Main

About the background of this plan

In today's society, the development of the Internet and science and technology has made life convenient and comfortable, but it is also said to be a "stressful society" where mental fatigue tends to accumulate. According to a survey by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, the number of people suffering from "mental illness" is increasing every year, and dealing with stress has become a major challenge for people today.

Under such circumstances, the "default mode network" is a stress-relieving measure that is attracting attention. This is a neural activity in which the brain suspends proactive thinking, information processing, and judgment, and maintains rest in an unconscious state. Simply put, it is a state of inactivity, or "zoning out.

Maiko, on the west coast of Kobe, is a 20-minute train ride from the center of Kobe City, but with beautiful views of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge and Awaji Island, the quiet environment and pleasant sea breezes, it is a popular place to forget the hustle and bustle of daily life. Many guests come here for reasons such as "to relax in the beautiful scenery" or "for a change from the daily routine.

This time, we have created a new guest room specializing in "the ultimate in zoning out" as a "purposeless stay experience" and have prepared a plan for this new room.

Three points to enjoy the "ultimate in zoning out

(1) "Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge View" overlooking the world's second longest suspension bridge, which further enhances the value of the ocean view experience

Awaji Island and the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, the second longest suspension bridge in the world, spread out before your eyes, offering a spectacular ocean view. When the weather is fine, you can enjoy both sunrise and sunset with a 180-degree panoramic view, and at night you can enjoy the fantastic sight of the Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge lit up romantically.

A high-quality relaxing space that blends in with the "view with a bridge

The new guest rooms have been thematically designed to take advantage of the "bridge view," one of the strengths of the hotel.

The beds, sofas, and desks are positioned facing the windows, so that the view can be enjoyed from anywhere. The glass-enclosed bathrooms also offer a view of the ocean, creating a sense of relaxation and openness that can only be experienced here.

The illuminated Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge looks even more beautiful in "night view mode.

Optimal lighting is employed according to the time of day and scene. In addition to the "Night View Mode," which allows you to enjoy the beauty of the illuminated Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge, there is also a "Relax Mode," in which the brightness is psychologically adjusted to help you relax.
