"Transforming the hot spring town into a place for 'working, eating, and resetting'"
hitoritoiro.cowork+cafe is a space where a casual cafe and a coworking space for deep thinking are naturally connected.
When you want to focus deeply on work, you can settle down quietly; when you want to relax a bit, you can immerse yourself in the cafe atmosphere. When your thoughts get stuck, you can refresh your mind by experiencing the hot springs or local activities.
It proposes a way to adjust to your own rhythm by moving between work and rest without separating them.
In the hot spring town, a place for resetting, it gently aligns with each individual's pace.
This is the new form of coworking space and cafe proposed by hitoritoiro.cowork+cafe.
■ Background of Opening
In recent years, due to the diversification of work styles, there has been a growing need for environments that allow for a seamless transition between concentration and rest, efficiency and leisure, and the ordinary and extraordinary, rather than just a "place to work."
Especially in rural areas and hot spring towns, in addition to their appeal as tourist destinations, there is a demand for creating new stay values such as long-term stays, workations, dual-location lifestyles, and loose connections with the local community.
Against this background, hitoritoiro.cowork+cafe was born as a place that views the hot spring town itself as a "place for resetting," proposing a new way of working and spending time not found in urban areas, by gently connecting work, rest, food, accommodation, and local experiences.
The area outside the facility offers a hot spring town with views of Myogi-san, one of Japan's three great scenic wonders.
It is conveniently located a 2-minute walk from the station, allowing visitors arriving by train to pass through the Isobe Onsen arch into the hot spring town.
Isobe Onsen, developed in a scenic location along the clear stream "Usui River," is also known as the birthplace of the hot spring symbol.
You can work in an environment where you can also stroll through the compact hot spring town.
■ Features of hitoritoiro.cowork+cafe
1. Space design that eliminates the boundary between coworking and cafe
A key feature of this facility is that it does not set a clear boundary between the coworking space and the cafe, allowing users to choose how they spend their time according to their physical and mental state at any given moment. When you want to focus deeply on work, you can concentrate quietly; when you want to relax a bit, you can take a break at the cafe. When your thoughts get stuck, you can change your mood by experiencing the hot springs, walking around town, or participating in local activities. Based on this natural back-and-forth, it proposes a new way of using time that doesn't overly separate "work" and "rest."
The coworking space in the middle of the hot spring town is a calm space unified in gray.
2. Hot spring town coworking space supporting hourly to monthly use
The coworking space offers a flexible workspace in the calm environment of a hot spring town, available from one hour to monthly use. It is equipped with power outlets and Wi-Fi, and supports online meetings. Business hours are 9:00-18:00 for non-members and 9:00-22:00 for monthly members. Monthly members can use the facility regardless of regular closing days. It caters to a wide range of needs, including remote work, temporary use during business trips, and workations.
The interior features large tables and comfortable chairs suitable for long hours of work.
3. Cafe menu that offers a taste of local charm
The adjoining cafe can be used for breaks and refreshment during coworking, or for cafe-only visits. In addition to hand-drip coffee and craft ginger ale, it offers drinks that convey local charm, such as plum soda made from plums harvested in the local Akima Bairin. Light meals such as butter toast, developed in collaboration with local businesses, are also available, supporting the transition between concentration and rest at a distance that allows for a natural stop during work.
