社長の別荘｜President’s Villa｜2021/03/27

ワーケーションの場所を熊本の温泉旅館に移動した。その旅館の中に別棟の部屋があるのだが、やたら広い。１０畳の寝室の他に１０畳間があり、リビングは１８畳だ。その上、部屋専用の岩場のある温泉で眺めの良い浴室、さらに庭に露天のお風呂まである。桜を見ながらゆっくりと浸かることができる。外にはバーベキューができそうなテラス席まである。あまりにもすごいので聞く、ある会社の社長の別荘を利用して旅館の別棟にしているらしい。どおりでリビングに立派なマッサージ機があるわけだ。自分では滅多に使わない別荘を旅館に預けているらしい。社長は管理してもらい、収入が得られ、旅館は別棟として使える。なるほど、WinWinのカタチなんだなぁ。（絵と文：サカキテツ朗）

I went to a hot spring ryokan in Kumamoto for workation. There was a separate room in the ryokan, and it was quite large. It had a 10 tatami bedroom, another 10 tatami room, and a 18 tatami living room. It had also a hot spring bathroom with a rocky area dedicated to the room with a great view, and it had an open-air bath in the garden. I could bath related while watching the cherry blossoms. There are even terrace seats outside where you can have a barbecue. It's so amazing that I heard that the villa of the president of a certain company is being used as a separate building of the inn. There is a fine massage machine in the living room on the street. It seems that he has a villa that he rarely uses at the inn. The president manages it, earns income, and the inn can be used as a separate building. I see, it's a win-win shape. -Text and illustration by Ted Sakaki
