BenQ and Kotobuki-yu: A Unique Collaboration
As summer approaches and the excitement for sports reaches its peak, BenQ Japan has teamed up with the naturally sourced Kotobuki-yu Onsen in Sanda City, Hyogo Prefecture. From June 10th to August 11th, 2026, sports enthusiasts can experience the best of both worlds—ultimate relaxation and immersive viewing— using the latest TK705STi 4K short-throw projector. This collaboration allows visitors to take in stunning visuals while enjoying the soothing atmosphere of the onsen.
The Event
Visitors can look forward to watching their favorite sports on a gigantic screen from the comfort of their post-bath relaxation zone. The TK705STi, equipped with advanced 4K resolution and high brightness, projects dazzling images from just 1.8 meters away, covering a 100-inch screen. With its 3,000 ANSI lumens brightness, viewers can enjoy high-quality visuals even in well-lit spaces.
What sets the TK705STi apart is its smooth frame interpolation technology (MEMC), which captures dynamic sports actions seamlessly. Additionally, its sports mode is designed to replicate the vibrant colors of a stadium's grass, making the viewing experience even more lifelike. Simply having a white wall is enough to turn any room into a sports bar-like atmosphere.
Immersive Sports Experience
As the fervor for soccer peaks, this collaboration offers an extraordinary opportunity for attendees to enjoy an immersive sports viewing experience like never before. Relax at Kotobuki-yu while taking in the exact emotions of cheering crowds as if they were in a live stadium. The atmosphere naturally enhances relaxation, blurring the lines between a tranquil bathhouse and the energetic vibe of a sports arena.
Special Experience Space
Visitors will have access to a uniquely designed experience space tailored for post-bathing relaxation. The special area will showcase the TK705STi projector, emphasizing high-definition imagery and color accuracy that enhances the viewing experience across a broad range of content, providing an unparalleled immersion in sports.
For even more excitement, the adjacent glamping site, Glam Apple Kobe Sanda, offers a chance to experience the portable ceiling mobile projector, GV50, to one lucky group each day during the event.
