We were in charge of designing english web site for Satoyama Jujo, a lifestyle inn located in Niigata prefecture, Japan.
Satoyama Jujo is one of the two hotels in Japan that has been selected by Design Hotels. The building was originally an old Japanese folk house aged 150 years old, renovated and redesigned by Toru Iwasa - founder of lifestyle magazine "Jiyujin". Designer furnitures exampled by Scandinavian furnitures, breathe in new attractiveness to the traditional charms of the folk house, creating a confortable harmony.
The design is mainly about the large use of photography to convey the utmost Satoyama Jujo's signature, such as marvelous scenery, food, architecture and art. Each page is guided by clicking full width photo banner. We selected elegant serif font that matches to tasteful yet modern and sophisticated building. Much space is taken up around the typography to make beautiful photography stand out.
We would highly recommend you to stay the hotel for Satoyama Jujo's luxury experience that wouldn't gain in big cities.
