Hoshino Resorts proposes stays tailored to the purpose and style of travel under the theme of 'making travel fun.' The group operates 76 facilities domestically and internationally (71 in Japan, 5 overseas), centered on six brands: 'HOSHINOYA' offering an overwhelming non-daily experience, 'KAI' hot spring ryokans transmitting local charms, 'RISONARE' countryside resorts for experiencing nature, 'OMO' city-center hotels, 'BEB' loose-style hotels, and 'LUCY' heart-stirring mountain hotels.
'Kai Miyajima,' the 27th facility of the KAI brand, will open on July 23, 2026, in Hatsukaichi City, Hiroshima Prefecture. The concept is 'Tranquil Stay in the Bath with a View, Embraced by Affection.' All 54 guest rooms are 'Umigiri no Ma' (Sea Mist Rooms), which offer panoramic views of the Seto Inland Sea and the Grand Torii Gate of Itsukushima Shrine, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The design is inspired by the sea mist that occurs in early summer.
Key features include:
1. All-ocean-view guest rooms 'Umigiri no Ma': Every room offers a view of the sea and the iconic shrine.
2. Spectacular top-floor open-air bath: 'Miharashi no Yu' provides a sense of openness as if the bath and sea are integrated.
3. 'Ishi-buro' (Stone Bath): A modern reproduction of an ancient sauna that has been popular in the Setouchi region for centuries.
4. All-tatami floor space: The entire facility is covered in tatami mats, providing a comfortable environment for guests to relax barefoot.
The facility also plans to offer 'Gootochi-gaku' (local cultural experiences) and cuisine using local ingredients to revitalize regional tourism.
