A new style of minimalist hotel,
designed especially for tourists

“karaksa”
Since ancient times, the karakusa motif has been treasured as a symbolof growth, prosperity and intangible bonds.

The corporate logo of the Xymax Group combines the karakusa motif
with the traditional Japanese tomoe and magatama designs to express
growth and development, as well as partnership and nobility of spirit.

The karaksa hotel brand incorporates our desire to create hotels loved
across generations, as fresh and inviting as the karakusa arabesqueitself.
