Aki Grand Hotel “Bogen-no-Yu”

Miyajima, Hiroshima, Japan

Private open-air bath with a view of Istukushima Shrine over the sea

In the continuous value improvement since 2004, the weakness of the hot spring facilities was a concern for attracting guests. We thought it was necessary to provide the hotel with a hot spring facility that would attract an increasing number of individual guests, and through various studies, we came up with a plan for an open-air bath with a spectacular view of Itsukushima Shrine over the sea.
The construction of the private open-air baths was accompanied by the conversion of the baths to hot spring water, which became a pillar of the hotel's sales.
