Reception party held on Thursday, April 26
With the abundance of information available on the Internet, it is now easier than ever to visit tourist attractions and visit restaurants with excellent reviews by simply walking around with a smartphone in hand. However, because one can solve everything on one's own, the "human connection," which is one of the most important elements of travel, has been drastically reduced. As if to throw a stone at this situation, a new restaurant calledEARTHMANS". The concept of this hotel is to integrate users (MANS) into the community (EARTH).
The hotel was designed by "FREAK'S STOREwhich operates the "Daytona InternationalThe hotel is located in the heart of the city. For this reason, the hotel's interior reflects the know-how cultivated at "Freak's Store," and the furnishings and amenities are decorated with items that have been carefully selected. Rooms boldly combine materials not commonly used, such as perforated boards and curing sheets, with vintage designer furniture. The rooms also feature vintage designer furniture, creating a contrasting industrial space.
The most eye-catching feature is the macramé placed in various places. All of these items were purchased in the U.S., and are very rare to find.
The first floor is a café lounge, and the coffee is from the famous Santa Cruz coffee shop, "VERVE COFFEE ROASTERSThe introduction of the "bean Since this area is open to non-guests as well, local people and guests will have contact with each other at this location, creating encounters that will help them become more integrated into the city. The hotel's original apparel goods are also sold here.
Director Kyooru Shibata
Mr. Shibata, who is the director of the hotel business, says, "Our mission was originally to design and create things and services that I really want, and make money by making society happy. The next thing I wanted to create was a hotel. When you go abroad, it is easy to build a community in the lobby, where you can ask about the latest local information or good restaurants. However, there are few such hotels in Japan. So we decided to create such a place ourselves, which led to the opening of this hotel. From now on, we hope to increase the number of EARTHMAN'S hotels throughout Japan and make EARTHMAN'S synonymous with hotels where you can feel like a local.

Ken Kashima, president of Daytona International, says, "Starting with this event, we would like to create community hubs throughout the country in the future. The future that both parties have in store for us is very interesting.
The idea is to remove the boundary between the city and its guests as much as possible, and to allow people to "live and sightsee" as if they were living in the city. We hope you will visit the hotel created by Daytona International when you come to Osaka.
