Mr. Sekiyayoi Comments

We created illustrations and animations with the theme of the precious time and memories spent at “NAZUNA Kyoto Tsubaki Dori”.

This time, we were targeting young people, so we have devised the expressions of the people so that they can feel the familiarity while valuing the elegant and elegant atmosphere of the ryokan.

Especially in animation, not only the facial expression but also the casual gesture of the girl is the point.

In the background, it depicts the exterior and part of the interior of the inn, expressing the historical charm of the building. Originally, I liked looking at old-fashioned buildings, so I was excited while looking at the materials.

I would be happy if we could deliver the charm of “NAZUNA Kyoto Tsubaki-dori” through the work!

Comment from Ryuichi Watanabe, Representative Director

Behind the production of the animation video this time, there was a strong desire to convey the new charm of the hotel.

A ryokan that continues to preserve tradition, and Japan’s proud animation culture. By fusing these two, we wanted to take on the challenge of new expressions that have never existed before, and to convey the charm of the hotel to our customers both in Japan and overseas.

We hope that the expressive power of animation will make the hotel’s beautiful scenery and the way you enjoy it with your wonderful partners more vividly and impressively.

We hope that this video will give you a new view of the world, which is woven by the creativity of traditional Japanese beauty and animation.

By all means, take this video as an opportunity to visit our hotel and enjoy it with the world of the animation.
