A new option for accommodation in Osaka! The entire city hotel “SEKAI HOTEL Fuse”
At SEKAI HOTEL Fuse, whose guest rooms are spread out over a shopping street, the staff-recommended restaurant serves as the venue for dinner and breakfast, and the public bath is a traditional public bath. You can spend an extraordinary time interacting with the locals.
What is Machigoto Hotel?
This type of hotel is also called a ``distributed hotel'' or ``a whole town hotel,'' and Albergo Difuso in Italy is famous overseas. SEKAI HOTEL, a town hotel®︎, also belongs to this category.
Rooms are scattered throughout the city
Typical hotels and inns have all the guest rooms in one large building. After you check in, you will be informed that your room will be on the 6th floor by using that elevator.
On the other hand, Machigoto Hotel has guest rooms scattered throughout the city, so after checking in, guests go outside the reception facility and walk along the city to their rooms .
At SEKAI HOTEL Fuse, the guest rooms are spread out around the shopping street, so the moment you step out of your room, you will find yourself in the shopping street.
I walked down the hotel corridor called the shopping street to my room. This is an experience unique to Machigoto Hotel.
Another characteristic of Machigoto hotels is that they often have facility designs that take advantage of the characteristics of the area.
In honor of Fuse, which is a town of merchants and a manufacturing town with many small factories, the guest room design of SEKAI HOTEL Fuse is ``a small factory where you can stay.''
Dinner venue is a popular restaurant
Dinner at a hot spring inn gives you the special feeling of enjoying local cuisine in the comfort of your own room. Also, many people look forward to the hotel's buffet-style dinner.
However, every town has its own famous local shops. At Machigoto Hotel, instead of relying on a guidebook to find a restaurant, you can enjoy your dinner in collaboration with a restaurant recommended by our staff.
For people visiting from far away, dinner is probably the best time to experience the characteristics of the area.
Not only the ingredients and cooking methods, but also the communication with the customer service staff and the lively atmosphere of the restaurant, which is full of local regulars, are all special things that can only be experienced while traveling. Please experience a time when you are traveling that is not only delicious.

The large bath is a traditional public bath
Many people probably have high expectations for the public baths at their accommodations. Many of the machigoto hotels have large public baths that are traditional public baths where locals also gather.
Showa retro is a very popular trending word right now, and the number of public bath facilities that are decreasing year by year allows you to fully immerse yourself in the Showa retro atmosphere.
There's something heartwarming about scenes of familiar locals making small talk with each other. Sento is officially called ``public bathhouse,'' and is a facility that is ``a bath for locals and everyone.'' By visiting here, you become a member of the city.
For those staying at SEKAI HOTEL Fuse, you can borrow an original bucket for free (limited quantity). If you use this tub at a public bath, there is a much higher chance that someone will ask you, "Are you staying at SEKAI HOTEL?"
Breakfast is served at a coffee shop crowded with regulars.
Experience daily life while traveling
The biggest attraction of Machigoto Hotel is that you can experience the daily life of local people .
Dive into the daily life of your travel destination.
I want you to experience the value of "ORDINARY" even more. At SEKAI HOTEL, we would like to deliver this message to as many people as possible.
SEKAI HOTEL Fuse issues a "SEKAI PASS" to guests staying at the hotel. If you show this, you will receive a free gift at a store in the shopping district, or if you just wear it around your neck while walking around the shopping district, the locals will recognize you as a ``SEKAI HOTEL guest = someone who is visiting the city for the first time'' and will greet you kindly. I'll give it to you.
Someone's everyday life is your extraordinary life
Until now, traveling with the purpose of diving into the daily life of a destination or getting to know the locals has been a difficult choice.
It may have been a special travel experience that so-called individual backpackers, who would not choose to go with their families or friends, were looking for.
In an unfamiliar place, the only way to learn about delicious restaurants and experience the culture and customs is to ask the locals, but it takes courage.
However, with the advent of Machigoto Hotels, travel experiences have become much easier to choose. By having hotel staff between the tourists and the locals, who are complete strangers, they serve as guides to help you dive into the daily life of the destination .
It can be said that it is a new travel option that allows you to ``immerse yourself in the daily life of the destination'', which is different from resort trips or hot spring trips.
Make your travel destination your second home
What is your best memory from your trip?
I'm sure there are many things like delicious food and breathtaking views, but for many people , their fondest memories are of making friends with the people they met on their travels .
When you visit Machigoto Hotel, the number of people you want to meet again will increase. One of the great attractions is that once you visit a destination, it becomes a place you want to return to.
When we asked guests who stayed at SEKAI HOTEL Fuse, they said things like, ``At the restaurant I went to eat, a regular customer bought me a drink,'' and ``When I asked for directions, the people passing by one after another became involved in the conversation.'' It seems that there are many people who have met people who seem to be very generous and friendly Osakans.
summary
Machigoto Hotel is a hotel that values the local community as it is .
Instead of building new buildings, we renovate and reuse historic buildings, and instead of developing new services and products, we use locally sourced materials.
Many locals say, ``There's nothing here,'' but that's not true. SEKAI HOTEL believes that it is gradually becoming more and more common that the daily lives of local people are special and extraordinary for someone far away .
Rather than tourism that is associated with mass production and mass consumption, where new things are constantly being created and consumed, I believe that the historical ``as-is'' of the region is the perfect tourism content for a sustainable society in the future.
If town hotels spread not only in Japan but all over the world, the number of sightseeing options will continue to increase.
SEKAI HOTEL is a ``Machigoto Hotel'' where you can enjoy the entire town as if you were in a hotel, including renovating vacant houses and vacant tenant buildings dotted around the town and turning them into guest rooms. "is.
