An art project with local high school students launched, focusing on the charm of the area
- Notice from the hotel
A statue of our founder, Kumahachi Aburaya, dressed in a local design created by a young sensibility, welcomes you in the hotel lobby.
Kamenoi Hotel is gradually installing the Kumahachi statues, and has now started an art project in which local high school students are asked to use the brand new Kumahachi statues as canvases to paint them in colors that are representative of the area!
The "Kumahachi Statue" at Kamenoi Hotel Kujukuri is currently being painted by members of the Chiba Prefectural Sosa High School Art Club, and will return to the hotel on Saturday, July 12, 2025! An unveiling event will also be held on the day. Look forward to the local design drawn by young sensibilities.
Design Concept
Comment from the Art Club Chiba Sosa High School
The design was based on the theme of "a seaside town full of greenery" to convey the charm of Asahi-shi with thriving agriculture and fishing industries.
The green of the jacket and tie represents agriculture, and local specialties from the sea are displayed to create a sense of vitality.
On the day of the unveiling, Saturday, July 12th, an art painting of the "Kumahachi Statue" and a local market event will be held in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel.
If you are in the area, even if it is just for a day trip, please stop by.
Kamenoi Hotel aims to be an even more appealing "local inn filled with tradition and warmth" by adding the unique value of the region to the spirit of hospitality and innovation that has been passed down since the hotel's founding.
In this project, we hope that the "Kumahachi statues" in each area will become new symbols, providing an opportunity for customers visiting Kamenoi Hotels across the country to discover new charms, and that the hotels will also become more familiar to local residents as "their town hotel."
Please look forward to the art project at Kamenoi Hotel, which has inherited the "spirit of hospitality" from Aburaya Kumahachi!
