When designing Fujiya Inn, I developed the concept of layers both in time and space – Kengo Kuma, THE HOTEL’S ARCHITECT
“Blonde Madam”, the local call Jeanie Fuji, the American who has turned the Fujiya Inn into one of the best-known hotels in Japan.
Having learned the ancient art of okami, traditional Japanese hospitality, in the 1990s, she later went on to redesign this guesthouse at the famous hot springs of the Ginzan River.
Tackling a 350-year-old institution is a sensitive task, but it’s one she mastered brilliantly, ably assisted by star architect Kengo Kuma. His building is a minimalist and yet highly sensuous take on Zen aesthetics and the art of reduction.
Delicate wooden partitions, bamboo screens (sumushiko), and shimmering green glass walls create a captivating atmosphere in which the architecture forms a suitably diaphanous backdrop to the steam of the springs.
