Hotel Metropolitan Akita: the perfect base for sightseeing in Akita

Hotel Metropolitan Akita, located adjacent to JR Akita Station, the gateway to Akita City, opened in 1986 as Akita Terminal Hotel. It was later renamed the “Metropolitan Hotel Akita” in 1996, and has been widely used for business, sightseeing, and events. In May 2021, a new annex, the “North Wing,” opened. The number of guest rooms has doubled to 247 with the addition of the 132 rooms in North Wing to the 115 rooms in main building.
The annex was designed based on the concept of “Remnant of Akita” while maintaining the relaxed atmosphere that is unique to Hotel Metropolitan Akita. Akita cedar was used for the walls and ceiling, and the lobby on the first floor, which welcomes guests, is covered with a coved ceiling that resembles a butterbur-leaf umbrella, a reference to the lyrics of the folk song “Akita Ondo.” It is a special space where one can experience the new Akita as well as the heartwarming Akita.
In addition, the elevator halls on the third through ninth guest room floors display delicate kumiko-zaiku (braided craftsmanship) with Omagari fireworks as a motif. In addition, guest rooms are decorated with tissue boxes made of Akita cedar, Naraoka-yaki mugs, and artwork of Honjo Gotenmari and Itaya horses, allowing guests to feel Akita while relaxing.

“Resort Hotel Moana Coast” with an overseas resort atmosphere

In the city of Naruto, Tokushima Prefecture, which is rich in nature and abundant in foodstuffs, floats a small resort island called Ogejima. Located between Shikoku and Awaji Island, the island is the gateway to Shikoku, where the whirlpools of the Naruto Straits can be seen. There, surrounded by the sea and mountains, is the Moana Coast Resort Hotel, a secluded hideaway for adults. As the name of the hotel means “beautiful coast” in Hawaiian, the contrast between the blue ocean and the white sandy beach seen from the guest rooms and lounge creates an atmosphere as if one were visiting an exotic resort.
The hotel has only 14 guest rooms on its vast grounds of approximately 3,000 tsubo. All rooms are maisonette type with an open-air bath, a luxury that is rare in Japan and the world. The main building, “Moana Coast,” is a three-story structure with a jet bath on the rooftop overlooking the Seto Inland Sea. The rooftop bathtub has a view of the Seto Inland Sea, and the open-air rooftop is the perfect place to spend a special moment while feeling the ocean breeze and admiring the spectacular view. Villa Beltramonto” means ‘villa with a beautiful sunset’ in Italian. All rooms are suites, and from the open-air bath you can watch the beautiful sunset over the Naruto satoyama through the courtyard. The amber-colored light of the sunset and the view of the sky will give you a different experience from the one in the main building. The concepts of the main building and the detached house are different, so you can choose the one that best suits your mood and the season you visit.

Unusual feeling of relaxing and spending time together

The meals at Moana Coast are creative Italian courses that focus on locally produced, locally consumed food, with an emphasis on seasonal seafood and fresh vegetables from our own vegetable garden in Naruto, Tokushima, a treasure trove of culinary delights. This is exactly the restaurant’s concept of “once-in-a-lifetime Italian cuisine that can only be enjoyed here and now. In particular, the “Sauteed Tokushima Live Abalone with Bourguignon Sauce” and “Grilled Natural Naruto Sea Bream in Saltine Sauce” are must-try dishes.
A short distance from the hotel are the Otsuka Museum of Art, the German Pavilion, and the Naruto Straits, famous for Naruto’s whirlpools. However, we recommend that you do not make too many plans and spend your time relaxing in the hotel, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Enjoy a cup of Moana’s original blend coffee in the free lounge, take a walk in the large lawn garden on the grounds, or go straight to the beach and walk along the sandy beach. You will be able to reset your mind and body, and enjoy an extraordinary experience of the highest quality.

Just the thought of having these dishes with Toyama’s locally brewed sake is enough to make one’s cheeks loose a little weight. The other is the French restaurant “Trezonier. The chef himself goes to the mountains and fishing ports to select the best seasonal ingredients. Both restaurants also use carefully selected contemporary artisanal tableware, allowing diners to enjoy the dishes while appreciating the tableware.

The baths are also a pleasure, and River Retreat Garaku Club has two large baths. The view of the Jinzu Gorge while soaking in the baths will be one of the most memorable parts of your trip. After soaking, it is recommended to further refresh yourself at the spa. Treatments using Chinese herbal oils and 100% natural essential oils are tailored to your physical condition and mood, and are a welcome treat that only Toyama, also known as the “Medicine Capital,” can offer.

Is this Italy? The stone paved path will invite you to the extraordinary.

At the foot of the Yatsugatake Mountains. Green mountains as far as the eye can see. The blue sky above. It is a scenery that is truly relaxing. In these settings stands ”Hoshino Resorts RISONARE”.

The hotel was designed by Mario Bellini, a world famous architect who has designed the Villa Erbe Exhibition Center in Como, Italy, and Tokyo Design Center. In the grandeur of nature, a stone paved path, just like the ones in Italian villages, will lead you to the white buildings. The path will gradually take you to the ”extraordinary” which is one of the essentials of travelling.

The hotel resonates with the nature of Yatsugatake.

The restaurants serve food that abundantly uses the bounty of Yatsugatake. Yamanashi being a famous wine country, the hotel has more than 2000 bottles of wine in stock, and many customers come to enjoy them.

Nakata stayed at ”Maisonette Suite Room”. The brightly sun lit interior was designed by the Architects’ unit, Klein Dytham architecture, who has worked on many products in Japan.
On the terrace, separated from the living room by a sheet of glass, is an open-air bath of modern design. The interior space aims to harmonize with nature, and one can feel the openness even when inside.

”Risonare” means to resonate in Italian. It is a hotel which can ”resonate” with the nature of Yatsugatake.

Another style of Japan

About 15 minutes by car from Karuizawa Station, ”Hoshinoya Karuizawa” is nestled at the foot of Asama Mountain in a lushly green valley. What catches the eyes of visitors is the landscape of the beautiful ”village” reflected on the surface of the water. The cottage-style guest rooms called ”Mizunami” are built on the side of Yukawa River which flows through the resort. The rooms are designed so that the guests can fully enjoy the beautiful nature in the comfort of their rooms.
A spacious sofa is set by the window, and the view of paper lanterns floating in the river can be seen at night.
The vast property is connected by winding alleys. On the hills stand guest rooms called ”Yamaroji”, and in the calm of mountains ”Niwaroji” rooms, each with its own tsuboniwa (courtyard) are located.
The concept of the resort, ”village”, was originally one of the social structures that Japanese people have carried on. By changing the original village style to fit modern lifestyle, the resort became a comfortable place to stay – another style of Japan.

Enjoy hot springs during your stay

The history of Hoshino Resort goes back to Kunitsugu Hoshino, the primary manager of the resort, who discovered the hot spring.
It has been told that there were points along Yukawa River where warm water flowed out. Hoshino Onsen, located along this blessed river, was popularly known as ”Akaiwa (red rock) Onsen” during the Meiji Era, with a precious hot spring that revived beautiful skin after bathing. Many people stopped by for hot spring cure for diseases, and that gave people the idea to dig for more hot springs and develop Karuizawa as a Hot Springs resort.
There are two bathing facilities at Hoshino Resort, ”Tonbo-no-yu” and ”Meditation Bath”. ”Tonbo-no-yu” has a big indoor bath and an outdoor bath, and lets you relax and enjoy the colors of the season while bathing in skin-curing spring.
”Meditation Bath” is said to be the bath to bring back your natural self and calmness. The temperature of the bath is set low to meditate and to sharpen your senses.

From the time of its founding, Hoshinoya has considered it important to harmonize nature and people, and now offers a variety of activity programs. One of them, ”Eco-Tour” includes bird watching and astronomical observations while enjoying a walk in rich nature. Seasonal plans such as ”backcountry skiing” and ”Bouga No Touryu (sojourn of trance)” plans, which is a full-fledged climbing experience followed by heavenly relaxation in the superb spa attract many guests.

The power of Japanese ”sake” ”Ginjo Toryu”

The resort’s spa, which looks as if it is floating over water, offers various treatment menus for guests who want to relax both body and soul. Nakata experienced an unusual spa menu which uses ”Ginjo Toryu” ”sake”.

Guests enjoy seasonal ”sake” in their room, and savor the marriage of Japanese cuisine and ”sake”. Then, after soaking themselves in a cypress bath filled with ”sake”, they can receive massage treatments using an oil using the lees. The components contained in the ”sake” have an anti-aging effect, and is called ”drink massage” because it promotes blood circulation. The menu allows the entire body to take advantage of the benefits. Even for Nakata who has visited a number of breweries so far, this was a new discovery in the benefits of ”sake”.

”Hoshinoya Karuizawa” created a new style of residential hot spring inn by blending new lifestyles and construction with the old lifestyles and cultures, like woodland, river, rice terrace, and village settlements. It is an inn where guests can get away from hasty everyday life and enjoy a special time in nature.
