Experience of the stay
What is Japan’s first zero-energy hotel?
I wondered, but I learned that the hotel aims to create a new cycle by implementing initiatives for the environment starting with zero energy.
Designed by Kengo Kuma, the design is lovely. The night illumination is also very beautiful.
The room is compact yet well-organized.
I was happy to find a hotel using NEMOHAMO amenities, as it’s not common to come across.
The towels are Imabari towels from the nearby Imabari city. They are fluffy and feel nice.
There are tumblers and eco-bags in the room, which I took along for shopping.
When I peeked into the co-working room, I found all the appliances were from Balmuda.
You can cook and eat here too.
(I bought takeout to eat)
It seems like a place to spend a long time.
This is one of the hotels I learned about from HafH that I wouldn’t have found on my own.
Experiences during the trip
Nearby, there’s a market with local vegetables and foods, so I had no trouble finding bento made with local ingredients and takeout options as well.
I relaxed in my room before heading to the market or reading in the co-working space.
At night, the garden is beautifully lit up, making it a perfect spot for a walk.
There are also rooms with outdoor baths, which is a nice way to relax.
After this, I headed to a hot spring in Matsuyama.
