A hotel whose reasons to stay come through at a glance.

Why

Turning convenience into a reason to choose.

  1. 01

    Booking on the official site, without detours

    Checking availability and rates had to be possible from any page, with a path that lets guests complete their booking on the official site.

  2. 02

    The right information for guests with different purposes

    Business trips, sightseeing, meetings and banquets: guests with different purposes needed a structure that takes each of them straight to what they need.

  3. 03

    Showing the strengths of the location and facilities

    Next to a shopping mall, a large public bath, free parking with room for large vehicles, and fast Wi-Fi. The hotel's strengths needed to come across clearly in photos and words.

How

A site where guests reach what they need without getting lost.

A community-based hotel that is easy to use for business and leisure alike. Built on that straightforward character, we designed everything from the booking path and the structure of information to the way the photos are shown.

01 Booking path

Availability search, always within reach.

We placed the availability search right below the top view and on every page, and fixed a booking button to the edge of the screen. A best-rate guarantee supports booking through the official site.

02 Hotel highlights

Showing the renewed public bath as it is.

The large public bath, renewed in October 2025, is introduced with large photos and a concise description, so guests can sense the pleasures of their stay, including the sauna and cold plunge.

03 Guides by purpose

From each purpose to the page you need.

Stay plans, rooms, nearby facilities, hotel facilities, meeting plans and access. Each purpose has its own entrance, with photos that show what is inside. The site also switches between Japanese, English and Simplified Chinese.
