世界遺産の森にたたずむ料理旅館のリニューアル事業のひとつ。自然素材と手仕事を前面に、現代的な快適性と安全性を加えた特別な貸切風呂。浴室はひば材の総すり漆仕上げ。床の木タイルによる心地よい歩行感、高野槙の湯船から立ち上る香り、ステンドグラスが添える彩り、そこかしこに遊びと工夫が隠された空間を実現。現在も様々なリニューアル計画が随時進行中。
　　浴室の見所は天井や壁だけでなく、きっと床にもあるはずだ。足裏にも木肌のやさしい感触を伝え、リラックスして欲しい。その思いで木タイルの開発に挑戦。10年近くが経過した今も利用者に愛され、いまだメンテナンス上の問題が発生していないことが嬉しい。

This is the part of the renewal project of the Japanese restaurant and Ryokan, hotel located in the forest of the world heritage site. The special reserved bathroom was renovated with the modern comfort and safety by the craftsmanship with the natural materials. The bathroom was designed with joy and contrivance everywhere such as floor finish with Japanese lacquer on the white cedar, the comfortable footstep on the wood tiles, fragrance from the bathtub made by umbrella pine, the color of the stained glass. There is still variety of projects on site ongoing.
　　I believe there must be highlights of the bathroom not only on ceilings and walls but also on floors. For visitors, I would like to give relaxation with gentle feeling of wood surfaces on their soles. Therefore, I have developed the wooden floor tiles. It took nearly 10 years since then. The visitors still love this room and I am pleased that it has no maintenance issue.
