Beyond the bundled bamboo railing of the hall is a river with abundant water flowing out of the primeval forest onto the inhabited flatlands.

The floor of this resort hotel’s hall is constructed solely from bamboo.
It makes the floor feels gentle and less harsh.
I think that day-to-day maintenance is difficult, but in a way it also provides employment opportunities for the people who live in this area.

From the open restaurant on the first floor, you can really see the abundant river flowing out of the jungle.

This green arch gate is crafted from raw bamboo. It was the first time I had seen arches constructed in this way.
