NOT A HOTEL MINAKAMI -TOJI
あたりを360°見渡せるロケーションを生かし、「NEW WILD STAY, NEW WILD LIFE」をコンセプトに、巨石が点々とする自然の荒々しさの感じられる自然の中で、遊び、楽しながら、自分の中に新たな野生を呼び起こす、ここにしかない自然体験を提供するランドスケープ。雨や風、そして水上の特徴である雪など、普段は敬遠しがちな天候であっても、自然が移ろう美しい景色が広がり、ふと屋外へと歩み出たくなる場所へ。
Taking advantage of the 360° panoramic view, this landscape embodies the concept of "NEW WILD STAY, NEW WILD LIFE."
Set amidst rugged nature dotted with massive stones, the space invites guests to play, explore, and awaken a new sense of wildness within themselves through a one-of-a-kind outdoor experience. Even under conditions often considered unfavorable—such as rain, wind, or snow unique to this waterside setting—the ever-changing beauty of nature unfolds, gently encouraging visitors to step outside and reconnect with the wild.
