@benrich__: DESIGN HOTEL — Winding pathways, contemporary art installations and sweeping views of the Seto Inland Sea – @simose_artgardenvilla is a designer’s paradise just an hour outside Hiroshima. Designed by legendary Japanese architect Shigeru Ban, the villas take inspiration from their surroundings; think local shipyards and incorporating recycled materials into their structure. Luxury guest villas, art installations and mirrored exhibition spaces blur the line between indoors and out – our favourite is the Paper House, with walls made from repurposed cardboard tubes – a masterclass in sustainability and design. From private dining experiences to seamless integration with the natural landscape, Simose is a rare example of hospitality done right – where local culture, world-class architecture, and fine cuisine come together effortlessly 🖼️ ⛩️ Unlock Japan’s rare experiences and exclusive hotels.
