訪れたゲストの数だけ、過ごし方がある。
アート・ビオトープ那須が提案するのは、時間の過ごし方。ビオトープとは、ドイツ語で「(生物群の)生息地」を意味する言葉です。地域に自然の植生を増やし、虫や小動物といった生物を呼び込んで小さな生態系を築く。戦後の経済発展で豊かな自然を荒廃させてしまった反省から生まれた、エコロジー運動の一環でした。
その背後には、自然を芸術の源泉として讃えてきたドイツ・ロマン派の伝統が脈々と息づき、失われた自然と自らの文化的肉体を取り戻そうという、文化復興の意志が込められています。Art Biotop NASU is a quiet hotel surrounded by nature where guests can enjoy a casual holiday.

Art Biotop’s Philosophy
Biotop means a “biome” or “habitat” in German. It is also the name of an ecological movement to re-establish a regional ecosystem by reviving vegetation and reintroducing insects and small animals. Behind this lies a long- tradition of German Romanticism which celebrates nature as a source of art. Its roots come from a desire to forge a cultural renaissance by restoring lost natural habitats and cultural strength.
As part of our philosophy, we aim to bring nature back to an area where habitats were destroyed during the post-war period of economic growth.
Art Biotop was born as a “nursery for future art” and we gave this name to our hotel in the hope that people would gather in this wonderful environment surrounded by undisturbed nature, perfect for gaining artistic inspiration and cultivating the seeds of art. We want Art Biotop to make a contribution, however small, to the development of Japan’s art and culture.
