It's been a while since I wrote anything for MATCHA. My name is Yu Aoki and I am the representative of MATCHA.

When I was a student, I traveled around the world, and after touring Japan, I created a company with the desire to share more of Japan's charms. Due to my work, I travel all over Japan. Among them, I personally picked out some accommodations that I don't want people to know about.

I believe that hotel is like a comprehensive art form of local culture, and if you are going to go to Japan, I want you to stay at a hotel that is good even if it takes a long time, and I want you to feel the local area. Ta.

An hotel where you can breathe deeply, Hiroshima Onomichi “LOG”

I like meditation. I love the feeling of deepening my breathing and calming my mind while meditating.

LOG, located in Onomichi, is an hotel where the entire room is wrapped in Japanese paper, making you breathe deeply. Many of the meals are healthy for the body.

Enjoy the Seto Inland Sea at Hiroshima Fukuyama “Gantu”

A luxury cruise ship that costs over 500,000 yen per night. The location is in Fukuyama, Hiroshima. The scenery of the Seto Inland Sea changes beautifully as the ship turns little by little every second. You can enjoy the 360-degree view of the Seto Inland Sea with your whole body. The entrance gate is a modern torii gate.

The ultimate sauna Saga “Mifuneyama Rakuen”

The sauna boom is popular in Japan. The world's top saunas are created through harmony and innovation unique to Japan. Among them, Mifuneyama Rakuen in Saga is particularly recommended. A unique dome-shaped space, a 120cm water bath cooled by hot springs...the concept of a sauna will change.

The ultimate resort “Forest in the Sky” where the dress code is nude

The dress code is "naked". It expresses the state of being completely naked, by throwing away all the clothing that covers the body and the titles that have come to mind. The company president, Mr. Tajima, spent 25 years carving out a mountain to build this resort. You can enjoy the atmosphere of Kagoshima Kirishima in this vast land.

Bed And Craft, an hotel where you can apprentice to craftsmen Inami, Toyama Prefecture

Inami, Toyama Prefecture, is the town of Japan's foremost wood carvers. At Bed and Craft in Inami, you can not only stay at an hotel where a wood carver worked, but also work as an apprentice for a few hours. You can feel the owner, Mr. Yamakawa's desire to preserve the culture. There is a new movement in town planning as a whole, and I recommend it from that perspective as well.
