Tranquillity and Sustainability at KAMOME SLOW HOTEL
For those who need a temporary escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, Awaji Island off the coast of Kobe City in Hyogo Prefecture is an ideal place to be.
Located within an hour's drive from Kobe City, Awaji Island has been an important connection between the Honshu and Shikoku regions of Japan. It is also home to Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, touted as the second longest suspension bridge in the world at 3911 metres in length, and the famous, massive Naruto Whirlpools that swell underneath Onaruto Bridge.
Awaji Island offers several attractions for the curious traveller, thanks to its rich history. If you are on the hunt for something that will allow you to unplug from the hustle and bustle of daily life, you can enjoy a slow-paced vacation here. KAMOME SLOW HOTEL, which encourages guests to ‘enjoy the art of doing nothing’, helps one to disconnect from stress and reconnect with the self.
Enjoy the view of the Harima Sea to the fullest by having breakfast at the oceanfront, served in a picnic basket and made with locally sourced ingredients, offering a nourishing first meal of the day. If you are looking to relax and rejuvenate your body, be sure to make use of the sauna and pool - both offer a good view of blue hues from the sea.
Another facility available at KAMOME SLOW HOTEL is the Sustainable Cottage, a separate cottage from the hotel which can house up to six guests. Since the hotel uses a natural energy and power storage system, the consumption of energy is close to zero throughout the year. The cottage also has a deck with a sauna. A BBQ grill session, which is ideal for gathering with your family while enjoying a view of the sea, can also be arranged at the terrace on the second floor.
Experiencing complete tranquillity and living sustainably is a unique way to introduce visitors to a new way of life and to take in the grandeur of Awaji Island.
