Website design (tourism site)
The visitor site for Utsukushigahara Onsen in Matsumoto, Nagano. It introduces the hot spring village through its therapeutic waters, historic streets and mountain scenery, and guides visitors to both overnight stays and day trips, with an English version.
The palette is built from the hot springs and surrounding nature, giving a calm, grown-up mood that conveys the slow pace of an onsen town.
The brief asked for something both youthful and mature, so animation and illustration appear throughout, keeping the site from feeling dated and catching the eye of younger visitors.
The main visual uses rising steam so the atmosphere of a hot spring town comes across at a glance.
