Hoshino Resorts, a hotel management company that operates over 40 properties within and outside of Japan, will be opening a hotel in Tiantai Mountain, Zhejiang Province of China. This is the first property in mainland China to be operated by Hoshino Resorts, where other properties outside of Japan include “HOSHINOYA Bali” in Ubud, Bali, “HOSHINOYA Guguan” in Taichung, Taiwan, and “Surfjack Hotel & Swim Club” in Hawaii, USA. The building is reminiscent of good old China and has 103 guest rooms, dining areas, pool, gym, spa, and library lounge. Surrounded by vast nature, the property aims to offer a stay away from the busy, everyday life.

The concept of the guest rooms is “Rokonseijyo (*),” which is part of Zen Buddhism. Dengyo Daishi Saicho, the founder of the Tendai sect in Japan, studied Tendai teachings at the Tiantai Mountains. The wish for guests to be able to spend a stress-free stay, relieved from the worries of daily life, at a place surrounded by nature and history is incorporated in the concept. The room is created in a way that makes one feel freed and relaxed by having large windows that frames the view, traditional Chinese furniture and decorations, and warm lighting.

The hotel is equipped with the most premium TOTO bathroom products in the guestrooms and in the public restrooms. Above all, a TOTO NEOREST, a high-tech bidet toilet with warm seat and warm-water cleansing, will give every guest a spa-like experience.

* Rokonseijyo is to be pure by refusing the hesitation that arises from the “six roots (rokon)” (eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, meaning) in the Zen language.
