Introducing 'FUTATABI FUTABA FUKUSHIMA'

Scheduled to open in June 2026, 'FUTATABI FUTABA FUKUSHIMA' is a retreat-type hotel situated in the revival industrial hub of Nakano, Futaba Town, Fukushima Prefecture. With the largest banquet and conference room in the region, the hotel aims to serve as a focal point for local regeneration and community interaction.

Hotel Concept

The concept of this hotel embodies three core ideas: restoration, reunion, and revisit. The vision is to reclaim the beauty of Futaba's natural landscape and industries while fostering connections with the town and its people. Guests are encouraged to reflect on themselves, embracing moments of tranquility and reconnection through their stay.

Collaboration with Local Enterprises

In light of the long journey towards recovery from the Great East Japan Earthquake and the subsequent nuclear disaster, Futaba Town is witnessing gradual growth in new industries and enterprises. The hotel's establishment emphasizes a commitment to walk alongside the community and support local initiatives.

FUTATABI FUTABA FUKUSHIMA collaborates with prominent regional businesses, including:

1. Asano Yarn Co., Ltd. - Renowned for its unique 'SUPER ZERO®' yarn, Asano Yarn has launched a new spinning mill within the same revival hub. The hotel will feature specially selected towels made from this innovative yarn, known for its lightweight, absorbent, and fast-drying properties.
2. Rice Resin Co., Ltd. - This company specializes in sustainable bio-materials derived from inedible rice. They have created a limited-edition clear bottle made from Rice Resin, featuring unique aesthetic qualities that will store water in the hotel's facilities. This initiative promotes sustainability by allowing guests to easily refill their bottles throughout their stay.
3. Flex Japan Co., Ltd. - An apparel manufacturer that recently established the 'Hinata Workshop in Futaba'. They’ve partnered with the hotel to co-develop staff uniforms, integrating local craftsmanship and styles, thereby embodying the town's unique aesthetics.
