  THE NEW ERA OF LUXURY TRAVEL “STAY FUNDING”

  Rather than creating new facilities, specialties, and local products, we need to create a model that revitalizes the region by turning the culture, climate, and people's activities that have existed since ancient times into tourism resources. That is the concept of "Shukubacho HOTEL Ko Otsu Hyakucho." We have also introduced a system called ``Stay Funding,'' which is a future investment in the local community. A new "media hotel" has been born in Otsu, with the concept of "stay, eat, drink, and shop in the city." Instead of flipping through the pages of a magazine, try walking around town, and instead of reading the introduction, try talking to people at stores. In addition, you can discover various things about the city by yourself... ``Shukubacho HOTEL Ko Otsu Hyakucho'' is an inn with the theme of ``real experiences'' that cannot be obtained from magazines, TV, or the Internet. When you think of Otsu, you may not think of much other than Lake Biwa, but there are actually a lot of hidden contents. Otsu is also the main entrance to Miidera, which has one of the largest national treasures in Japan, Ishiyamadera, which is the setting for The Tale of Genji, and Enryakuji on Mt. Hiei. Furthermore, there are endless historical resources such as the streets of Sakamoto, which still retains its medieval atmosphere, and the Otsu Festival, a nationally designated intangible folk cultural property. Furthermore, people are not aware of the convenience of being 2 stations and 9 minutes from Kyoto on the JR train, and direct access to the Kyoto Municipal Subway Tozai Line on the Keihan Railway. However, it is "Otsu". The town is so unassuming that it is said to be the "loneliest prefectural capital of the 47 prefectures." Being so close to Kyoto is also a problem, and shopping streets in the central city area are becoming increasingly shuttered. But this shopping street has great content. Famous carp sushi restaurants and pickle shops that have been around since the Edo period, extremely delicious mackerel sushi shops, and fish shops in shopping districts commonly sell the precious freshwater fish from Lake Biwa that is prized at restaurants in Kyoto. Masu. This doesn't start unless you stay overnight. Or rather, they don't understand. Many people ask us, ``Do we have a chance of success?'' ``Are we targeting inbound tourists?'' However, this project has nothing to do with the recent hotel construction boom. ``Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture, which is close to Kyoto'' and ``Kyoto City'' are completely different. After all, when I search for Kyoto, Otsu doesn't come up. There is little information about Otsu on the internet, and of course there are no guidebooks. The question becomes ``But why?'' What we value most is ``creating'' and ``communicating'' new systems. It would be great if we could create a model case that could be applied to all local cities that are facing population decline and donutization problems. If more people knew about the charm of Otsu, and the shopping district would become more active as a result. I think it's the best kind of creative work and social design. Of course, some have pointed out that the economic impact of 7 buildings and 13 rooms is small. But we think this way. Otsu was once the largest post town on the 53 stations of the Tokaido. Many businesses were created through people interacting with each other. However, these days it is extremely rare for travelers to walk along the old Tokaido and shop at the stores. In order to regain vitality, it is important to create new interactions. "We will produce and edit a little bit of Otsu's hidden tourist resources." As a result, if exchanges are re-established in the city of Otsu, I believe we will be able to see a new future for the shopping district. moreover. We have also introduced Japan's first attempt (or concept) of ``stay funding,'' which revives the city by staying overnight. With "Stay Funding," we will donate 150 yen per person who stays to the shopping district. But 150 yen is not the only "stay funding". Eating at restaurants in town and shopping are also "stay funding." When you do so, I would like you to take a moment to think about the future of Otsu, and other regional cities across the country that are facing the same problems. Currently, the shopping streets are still the same as they used to be, or rather, they are becoming more and more shuttered. However, some stores are slowly starting to become more active. The success or failure of this project depends on everyone staying overnight. ``I had something to do in Kyoto, but I decided to stay in Otsu.'' ``I felt like the real life that had disappeared in Kyoto was still alive.'' ``I was surprised by the beauty of Mii-dera and Ishiyama-dera.'' We have received many comments like these from our guests who have stayed at our hotel. . We hope you will experience the hidden charms of Otsu and share your experiences with us. ``Shukubacho HOTEL Ko Otsu Hyakucho'' is a media that spreads information about Otsu, but even more powerful is the people who stay there. Rather than creating new facilities, specialties, and local products, we need to create a model that revitalizes the region by turning the culture, climate, and people's activities that have existed since ancient times into tourism resources. Moreover, together with everyone, we will carve out a future with new human power. Investing in such a future is "stay funding," and that is what "Shukubacho HOTEL Ko Otsu Hyakucho" aims to do.
