Episode 4: Resort Hotel _ Mitsui Zehongxi Wild Duck

Note: Hoshinoya is a high-end holiday series under Hoshino Group. Because it is homophonic with Xinggu, the Chinese name of the hotel is Hong Hotel. At present, the brand has six top resort hotels, among which Karuizawa Hotel is the first hotel to open, and other hotels are located in resorts such as Kyoto, Mount Fuji, Tokyo, Takefu Island in Okinawa and Bali.

Hong's main creative designer is relatively fixed, and the three completed projects are jointly completed by Japanese architect Dong and Japanese landscape design teacher Tanigawa Hiroji. They are the royal designers of Hongxi Noah Boutique Hotel.

Project name: Star Valley Karuizawa, Noguchi Hiroshi, Mituizawa.

Project address: Nagano Prefecture? Karuizawa

Architectural design: Ms. Dong

Landscape Design: Hiroshi Hasegawa II (Site Design Office Studio)

Project Description: Maximizing the effective use of the natural environment is the design principle of Hongxi Noah. The whole hotel is scattered around Tang Chuan according to the situation and spread out in the form of villages, which are called "valleys", that is, villages in the valley. Independent villa, so that each room has an independent landscape. Rooms are also divided into courtyard rooms, water view rooms and mountain view rooms due to different environments, which are connected by small bridges, running water, tree paths and grass paths. Surrounded by lush trees and lush grass, each door has a small view, which has a community style as a whole.

The perfect combination of tradition and modernity, nature and labor can finally be avoided here.

The predecessor of the hotel is Xingye Hot Spring Hotel, which is located on the Tang Chuan River which flows through the valley between the wild bird forest and Xingye Mountain. There is a river in the middle of the hotel. Pedestrians cross the river through the narrow bridge, feel the smell of water and forest while walking, and show new scenery at the end of the alley. Although it is covered with the shell of modern minimalist design, it still respects Japanese traditional culture in details, and every detail is exquisite. Landscape design retains the original landform, perfectly shows the gap between waterscape and topography, and harmoniously combines nature and man-made.

Part I: Reception Building

Take the Hoshino shuttle bus or taxi from the station, and it only takes about 10 minutes to reach the reception desk of Hongxi Yeya in Hoshino area of Karuizawa.

In particular, Hongxi Noah, Fuji and Hongxi Noah in Tokyo also adopted the scheme of separating the front desk from the front desk.

This ingenious design creates a strong feeling of a holiday resort, as if walking into the door of Hongxi Noah and being isolated from the world.

Part II: Guest Room

Being able to feel nature is an important factor in the guest room. In order to create an atmosphere in which people can feel the outside world indoors, buildings are arranged into blocks. The window is not only divided into two sides, but also respects the original appearance of the land. At the same time, the traditional Japanese housing construction technology is adopted, especially the middle area is set between indoor and outdoor. Because of respect for local characteristics, there are more than 20 kinds of rooms, creating a personal space with unique charm.

There are 77 rooms in Hongxi Noya Mitsui, which can be roughly divided into three types, namely, water wave rooms near the water, rooms with higher ground and villas with courtyards, and each type is divided into single-family and overlapping.

Building energy saving and environmental protection design

The rooms are all Japanese high-rise buildings, and the design of the wind tower enhances the ventilation and convection ability of the building. In summer, there is no need for air-conditioning facilities here, but in winter, the heat energy of hot springs is used as floor heating.

Part III: Landscape design.

Mitsui Zehong Xi Noah has its own characteristics all year round, including cherry blossoms in spring, coolness in summer, red leaves in autumn and snow scenes in winter.

1. Stepped waterscape in the entrance area

With the help of height difference, through the combination of arc water system, planting belt and point planting, a terraced stream falling into the water landscape with rich layers and natural beauty is created.

Small pieces of stone planting walls are mottled but full of natural flavor. More importantly, small stones have natural advantages in building curved planting walls.

The beautiful terraced water-falling landscape of circular pavilion terrace can not only be viewed from a distance, but also be close to and participate in it, and the circular pavilion terrace provides this possibility without affecting the landscape effect.

2. Lake Landscape Center

3. Lakeside landscape

Panorama: In order to enjoy the natural beauty of the four seasons and the scenery of the village, each room is equipped with a spacious balcony or a wide corridor.

Part IV: Value-added services

1. Hot spring

In the hotel, the wind in the guest room can meet the demand of making private soup without leaving home;

Outdoor hot spring facilities are divided into two parts. One is "Dragonfly Soup", a large-scale bathing place that is open to the outside world in Daxing area. The Beauty Soup excavated during the Taisho period still attracts people to experience it today.

The other is a meditation hot spring located in the resort, which uses the concepts of light and darkness to create a meditation space.

The core of design is bright room and dark room. The bright room is illuminated by sunlight and night, and the dark room is equipped with Zen music to create a meditation atmosphere.

Eat something

When it comes to dining in a Japanese hotel, the first thing that comes to mind is the experience of one bed and two meals, that is, the room rate includes breakfast and dinner, all of which are enjoyed in the hotel.

Hongxi Noah broke this rule from the beginning. First of all, Hongxi Noya of Karuizawa must stay at least two nights at a time, that is, two bunks, to ensure a complete accommodation experience.

Before eating, all the seats in front of the restaurant have aperitif, just like Hongxi Noah, which has a sense of ritual crossing the border.

There is also the French cuisine Yukawatan of the sister industry hotel Bleston Court, which creates the artistic conception of a Chinese restaurant in the forest in the overall environment, and a large area of floor-to-ceiling glass looks directly at the landscape in the courtyard.

3. Experience activities

In order to make the guests have the impulse to stay for a long time, Hoshino has also carefully prepared different types of activities, such as stretching after getting up every day, sitting and enjoying the moon, and yoga meditation at night. Guests who check in can attend for free.

4. Bird watching base

As the hotel is close to the Karuizawa Wildlife Sanctuary, the hotel provides binoculars and a bird watching guide. Bird experts who follow Picio go deep into the forest to watch birds, observe flying squirrels at night and ride horses in the plateau forest, all of which require guests to pay a certain fee.

1. Maximize the effective use of this land and give play to the unique and precious value of the site.

This is a brewing environment with a long history. It is a rich natural environment created by karuizawa, which cannot be easily created. Trees, water, stones, etc. If the environment is connected with the scenery, then this land will arouse the sensibility of every guest.

2. Sense of scene

Rich rivers flow in the valley, and many native trees planted on this land have become an important factor, with the style of mountains and villages. As a comfortable holiday resort, you can feel the breath of various streams, the reflected trees on the water, the small bridge across the river, the sunny walk in the forest, and so on, every deliberately created scene.

3. Village

You can spend a leisurely day. There are countless places to relax and accommodation can be found everywhere. Guests live as villagers. On the basis of guest rooms, in the vast foundation, there are circuitous roads running through the forests of Yu Xiaoshan, staggered alleys, overflowing gardens, large ponds and other places, and small balconies that can be used as relaxation places are arranged everywhere. Living here is a kind of holiday life in itself, and it is this Hongxi Noah Wright Wellzer that was built for this purpose.
