Akitoshi Imafuku's TOKI to TOKI: Japanese Elegance in the Heart of Kinosaki Onsen
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Akitoshi Imafuku's TOKI to TOKI, a traditional Japanese hotel, embodies the concept of "miyabi" - Japanese elegance. Located in the central Kinosaki onsen district near the station, this ryokan seamlessly blends tradition with modernity, offering guests a serene retreat to savor the changing seasons and the passage of time.
The lobby, adorned with mushroom-like stools and Nishijin textile upholstery, provides a communal space for guests to relish delectable food and meaningful interactions. The tatami floors, custom-designed with a river-inspired pattern of lights, exude a magical yet tranquil ambiance, inviting guests to unwind and immerse themselves in the surroundings.
Each guest room boasts a unique bed backboard inspired by iconic elements of Japanese culture, such as mizuhiki decoration, Japanese pine trees, and the moon. Meanwhile, the third-floor bar features a striking organic-shaped sofa, a collaborative masterpiece with renowned textile designer Jotaro SAITO, elevating the space into a realm of unforgettable beauty.
A recipient of the Iron A' Design Award in 2020, TOKI to TOKI stands as a testament to well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that seamlessly integrate tradition and modernity, offering guests a truly immersive experience in the heart of Kinosaki onsen.
