The bamboo bells you make can be taken home as souvenirs, so you can enjoy them as memories of your trip. In addition, bamboo has recently been attracting attention as a material that grows quickly and has a low impact on the environment, and this experience will help children develop an awareness of sustainability by becoming interested in the relationship between bamboo and environmental conservation. The venue for this event, Amanek Beppu, has a concept of a “regional revitalization hotel” that incorporates the culture of the city, and has incorporated a variety of bamboo craft art into its interior, and the event will be held in an open lounge space with wooden features inspired by bamboo craft. We believe that one of the important missions of this event is to convey the appeal of traditional crafts to the next generation and contribute to the inheritance of techniques and culture, with our hotel taking the lead in disseminating not only the production experience but also the history and traditions unique to Beppu.

By incorporating regional characteristics such as the townscape and traditional crafts of each area into the design of common areas and guest rooms, we aim to create a characteristic that is commensurate with the location of the hotel as a whole and enhance the guest experience. As an extension of this initiative, we have decided to launch the “Amanek Academy,” which provides various learning opportunities tied to local communities and culture. From the perspective of lifelong learning that is rooted in the community, we aim to become a regional revitalization hotel that not only guests staying at the hotel but also feel free to visit by holding events with a wide variety of themes for all generations. About “Amanek Beppu Yurari” and “Amanek Beppu” Amanek Beppu was opened with the concept of a “regional revitalization hotel” that aims to revitalize the Beppu area, aiming for mutual prosperity between the city and the hotel. We are creating a system that will make you want to stroll around the city’s tourist spots, centered on restaurants, as if they were ancillary facilities of the hotel, such as HEYAZUKE, a unique payment service that allows you to pay for restaurants near the hotel to your room, and colorful yukatas in collaboration with SHIPS, a
long-established select shop. We aim to contribute to regional revitalization by providing comfortable private rooms and extensive common facilities with a resort-like feel, while allowing guests to go out and fully enjoy the unique culture of Beppu, one of Japan’s leading hot spring towns.
