Beppu City, known as a hot spring town, has many unique and historical stop-off hot springs. In addition to local gourmet food in Beppu, the number of restaurants with high-level features is increasing in recent years. “Beppu Hotel Negura” is a hotel specializing in lodging, and is characterized by its simplicity, comfort and commitment to the design of its residence, which can accommodate long-term stays.
There is nothing in this hotel.
In Beppu, many travelers enjoy hot springs and inns where they stay for meals. However, there are no hot springs or restaurants at Beppu Hotel Negura.
The hint was in a certain “inn concept” that has been advancing in Italy in recent years.
In Italy, the idea of Albergo Diffuso, which treats the entire city as a hotel grounds and enjoys a series of experiences, is widespread. It can be said that many people are beginning to realize that the main part of the trip is not completed in one inn, but that it becomes a more attractive experience by actively touching the history and culture that overflows in the city.
“Okomori Stay” is a waste in Beppu City, which is known for its exquisite gourmet food and the largest number of hot springs in Japan. Beppu Hotel Negura regards the entire city as a so-called “inn” and specializes in the “accommodation” experience.
However, it’s boring if you just stay overnight.
Therefore, isn’t it possible to have a point of contact between the guest and the area by installing a “BAR Hate” that can be used not only by the guests but also by the general public? I thought about that.
We hope that it will be a deeper experience for travelers by providing a free and cozy space where they can interact with local people.

The Hiroshima Museum of Art is hosting the exhibition “ZIPANGU: Contemporary Artists Who Defined the Heisei Era” (November 2, 2024 – December 22, 2024).

The exhibition has already garnered significant attention, exceeding 10,000 visitors.
HYAKKEI covered the dialogue between contemporary artist Takashi Murakami and Sueo Mizuma, the curator of this exhibition, held at the RIHGA Royal Hotel Hiroshima. We also conducted an exclusive interview with Mr. Mizuma.
The discussions centered on the aspirations behind the ZIPANGU exhibition and offered forward-looking insights, not only into Japan’s art world but also into the rediscovery of value within Japanese culture by its people.
