Book launch: Inter-local Design Conference—1: Specialists Discuss the Revitalization of Japanese Ryokan in Setouchi Area

The first Inter-local Design Conference was held at the end of October 2021 to discuss the revitalization of Japan’s tourism industry. The venue was the Kurayado Iroha ryokan, an inn on the island of Miyajima in the Seto Inland Sea. CCC Media House has now published a record of the conference discussions in book form. Guided by the practical theme of revitalizing a Japanese ryokan, participants with diverse roles and experiences—including business leaders, designers, architects, editors, writers, contemporary artists, investors, data analysts, an airport operator, the proprietress of a traditional ryotei restaurant, and a Buddhist chief priest—brought together their ideas and shared their visions. The outcome of the conference was a clearer view of how to produce the value required for tourism’s new context. The text of the book is in Japanese.
