Our project [WonderLust], originally operated as an Artist-in-Residence (AiR) facility, is now expanding its scope to welcome art-loving individuals from all walks of life. We believe that staying in our residence will provide guests with a truly transformative experience, unlike any other short staying hostels in the area. At our hot spring residence, we offer an immersive environment where guests can not only relax and rejuvenate but also engage with art in a unique and inspiring way.

Here are a few aspects we’d like to highlight to help potential contributors understand the essence of our AiR program:

1. The Power of Creativity: Our AiR program fosters an environment where artists from around the world can unleash their creativity and be inspired by the breathtaking natural beauty of our surroundings. By contributing to our fundraising campaign, you will be supporting the growth and development of artistic talent, providing artists with the opportunity to create remarkable works of art during their stay.

2. Cultural Exchange: As a guest in our residence, you will have the chance to interact with artists from different backgrounds, cultures, and artistic disciplines. This creates a rich and diverse community where ideas are exchanged, collaborations are formed, and new perspectives are gained. By supporting our fundraising program, you are promoting cultural exchange and global artistic connections.

3. Exclusive Access: Unlike traditional onsen resorts, WonderLust offers exclusive access to art exhibitions, installations, workshops, and performances by resident artists. You will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in a world of creativity, witnessing the artistic process firsthand and engaging with art in a way that goes beyond mere observation.

4. Serenity and Relaxation: Our hot spring hostel provides a serene and tranquil environment nestled in the heart of nature. Guests can unwind in the healing waters of the hot springs, surrounded by picturesque landscapes that have inspired countless artists throughout history. By contributing to our fundraising campaign, you are helping us enhance our facilities, making the experience even more delightful for future guests.
