A gift of "seven fortunes" with heart from the hotel. It is a kids lounge where you can relax with your family with a playground and reading space that nurtures creativity, nostalgic sweets and drinks in the space of about 460 square meters where you can spend time without worrying about the weather.

Large block to play freely together. Passing through tunnels, creating secret bases, and curiosity and creativity expand.

With a panoramic view of the Onaruto Bridge and Naruto Strait, Grand Mercure Awaji Island Resort & Spa (Location: Minamiawaji City, Hyogo Prefecture / General Manager: Masahiro Oshiro) has opened a new Kids Lounge for parents and children to enjoy in CONCEPT with the aim of delivering the Seven Lucky Gods to families. A spacious space of about 460m2 has been renewed, and it has a lawn area where children can play at ease, a tatami area where parents and children can read, and a space where ADULTS can relax and watch.

In the lawn area, a large block of MOPPS (Mops) with different forms of creativity is installed. By combining freely, it is a play area where parents and children can grow up while moving their bodies, such as creating bridges and secret bases, and making them look like vehicles. In the tatami area, there are picture books, popular manga, board games, etc., and there is a relaxing space where you can relax. Both children and ADULTS can enjoy reading and deepen conversations unique to the destination. There is also a candy corner and a drink space inside the lounge, and we value not only the time for parents and children but also the time for ADULTS to relax while watching the children play.


A lounge with a view over the play area and easy to watch. It surrounds old-fashioned sweets and drinks and stimulates family conversations.

Our thoughts on “Kids Lounge – Shichifuku” to deliver “The Seven Lucky”

A tour of the Seven Lucky Gods that has been handed down to Awajishima for a long time. It was born from this thought that the time spent here in CONCEPT, the time spent here will be a heartbreaking memory for children, and the time spent here for parents and children will be a “bliss”.

For memories of your family's journey, we will send you the seven blessings from the hotel.

1. Through the time of playing while devising, we touch the lucky playground equipment that fosters creativity and play while devising, we will nurture a moment where parents and children can be absorbed.

2. We surround one table on the lucky tatami of a group surrounded by tatami mats, and value the time when the family's distance naturally approaches.

3. The soft touch of Fukunoki table game, which touches the warmth of wood, brings a calm feeling that is different from digital.

4. Surrounded by picture books and topical manga that can be enjoyed beyond the Fukuyo era, which is soft with picture books and manga, parents and children can spend a peaceful time.

5. A conversation born in the wake of a nostalgic candy that is connected with nostalgic sweets gently connects the hearts of parents and children. By interacting with shop pretend, you can also experience learning while playing.
6. Spend a special time, talking with lucky sweets and drinks in one hand, is the casual time that gently colors the family time.

7. I hope that such a message of a memorable stay, "Let's come again" will suddenly come to mind in my daily life when I return from my trip. I hope that all the time spent in this place will remain in the memory of my family and eventually become a "bliss" of my heart.

Food, Nature, Culture, Awajishima is all inclusive.
