On November 25, 2022, the hot spring inn brand “Kai” operated by Hoshino Resorts, which operates nationwide, plans to open “Kai Unzen” in Unzen Onsen, Nagasaki Prefecture.
“Kai Unzen” is the 22nd facility following “Kai Yufuin” and “Kai Izumo”, and will be the first inn in Nagasaki Prefecture.
Unzen Onsen, Nagasaki, is located in Unzen Amakusa National Park, and is a hot spring area with the scent of steam, steam, and sulfur. Unzen Onsen is said to have been visited by Dutch trading house doctors Engelbert and Siebold through Dejima during the period when Japan was isolated, and is a place with historical ties to overseas countries.
In connection with its history, the Nagasaki culture, which has developed through the exchange of various people and cultures, is a mixture of Japanese (Japan), Hana (China), and Orchid (Netherlands) elements. Incorporate. For example, the large communal bath was decorated with stained glass, a glass craft from the Netherlands.
When the outside light comes in, the colorful and vivid light is reflected on the surface of the water and shines beautifully. A hot spring inn where you can experience the gorgeous Nagasaki culture full of exoticism.

The Hiroshima Museum of Art is hosting the exhibition “ZIPANGU: Contemporary Artists Who Defined the Heisei Era” (November 2, 2024 – December 22, 2024). This showcase brings together works by some of the most prominent figures in Japan’s contemporary art scene, including Yayoi Kusama, Takashi Murakami, Makoto Aida, Yoshitomo Nara, Chiharu Shiota, Izumi Kato, Akira Yamaguchi, and Miwa Komatsu. 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.
