When we asked David Miskin, who oversaw the design, what the idea behind the design was, he replied, "I visited Ishigaki Island several times and was inspired by various elements of the island, such as the warm people and abundant nature." He also said that he hopes that islanders will also visit the hotel and make use of the facilities.
