A new hospitality concept blending local gastronomy, Japanese aesthetics in architecture and art, and serene wellness overlooking the sacred island of Miyajima.
GREENING Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo / CEO: Masato Sekiguchi) , in collaboration with fav hospitality group Co., Ltd. , a subsidiary of Kasumigaseki Capital, is pleased to announce the launch of a new brand — HOTEL FORK & KNIFE, opening in March 2026 in Miyajimaguchi, Hiroshima, the gateway to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Itsukushima Shrine.
Concept: “Tradition Served Quietly.”
HOTEL FORK & KNIFE invites guests to immerse themselves in the quiet depth of Japanese culture — a retreat where design, cuisine, and landscape resonate with understated beauty.
Occupying a total area of 2,400 square meters with 34 guest rooms, the hotel’s interior design is directed by architect and artist Fumihiko Sano, known for his refined use of natural materials such as cedar and cypress. The result is a space that embodies the subtle harmony between craftsmanship, texture, and contemporary design — a sanctuary of calm sophistication.
One of the hotel’s central features is its restaurant, which celebrates Setouchi’s rich local produce through wood-fired gastronomy — from seafood grilled over an open flame to rice milled and cooked in earthenware pots on-site.
The top floor hosts a natural hot spring and sauna, offering breathtaking views of Miyajima and the tranquil Seto Inland Sea.
Art installations by Japanese contemporary artists will be displayed throughout the property, and the in-house shop “ref. Miyajima” will showcase fine local crafts and design objects made in Hiroshima.
Location: Miyajimaguchi, Hiroshima
Miyajimaguchi has long served as the historical gateway to Itsukushima Shrine, welcoming travelers en route to the sacred island.
Located just a short ferry ride from Miyajima and approximately 30 minutes from Hiroshima City, the area offers ideal access to both natural and cultural attractions.
Set between lush mountains and the gentle waves of the Seto Inland Sea, Miyajimaguchi is a place where heritage, art, and everyday life coexist — and where the slow rhythms of Japan can still be felt.
Guest Rooms
Ranging from 30 to 50 square meters, the rooms are designed for 2–4 guests and feature raised tatami-style floors and shoji screens.
Each room name — such as 「Asanagi」,「Shiosai」,「Hinoka」,「
Suite Room
In the 180㎡ suite, relax in the sunken tatami-style living area and unwind in your private sauna or open-air bath with natural hot spring water. The dedicated kitchen counter allows for an exclusive dining experience with a private chef invited to your suite (advance consultation required). Every detail of the lavish design is crafted to create a truly special moment—one that frees the mind and soothes the spirit.
