[Tokushima] Located in a corner of a garbage station!? A hotel designed by a famous architect!

I wanted to stay here (lol) Takushi Nakamura's recycled building (he also did Bella Vista in Onomichi) Celebrities and famous models often come here. People with high awareness are always up to date on information. When you look at this hotel from above, it looks like a question mark (❓) with a circle under it, which is the name WHY. It's so thoughtful👍 The meaning of "zero waste" is not how to dispose of waste, but the idea of ​​not producing garbage in the first place. I can't imagine not producing garbage, but I just don't know how to avoid it, what I do produce, and what happens when I don't produce it. I think that's a big part of it. If you stay at this hotel, you can separate the garbage that you produce during your stay just like the residents do. ♻️Separate the garbage into 45 categories ♻️Self-cut the soap you use in your room ♻️Weigh out the coffee beans, etc. It seems that you can experience zero-waste action, so this experience will help you become aware of things that you may not have been aware of before. A great initiative. Staying inside a garbage station facility at first glance doesn't seem like a good idea. But, now that I think about it, it's true. I'm impressed by the mechanism that has already made me want to stay there! 👍 By the way, the reason this is possible is that food waste is composted by each person, so it doesn't smell, and it's not collected here. I see, it's really amazing 👏 A chandelier made from empty bottles, also seen at rise&win ✨ Also at this Kurukuru Shop ✨ The Kurukuru Shop is a place where locals bring in "things they no longer need but can still use," and although only Kamikatsu residents can bring them in, anyone can take them home for free ☺️ A system where things circulate around. It seems that many places outside of Kamikatsu are also adopting this policy😆 Kamikatsu Town, which declared zero waste, is a small town with about 1,500 people, but it has become a tourist destination with more than 5,000 visitors every year, and has become an international place as a model for sustainable living👏 There are many fashionable places, but beyond that lies a grand theme, and what's amazing is that they have completely changed the image of garbage👏  This is art👏 📍Zero Waste Action Hotel "HOTEL WHY" 7-2 Shimohiura, Fukuhara, Kamikatsu-cho, Katsuura-gun, Tokushima Prefecture 📍Kamikatsu Town Zero Waste Center 7-2 Shimohiura, Fukuhara, Kamikatsu-cho, Katsuura-gun, Tokushima Prefecture @why.kamikatsu #Tokushima Prefecture #Tokushima Tourism #Tokushima Trip #Tokushima Hotel #sdgs #Accommodation Report
