Revenue model

1. Accommodation (lodging): The primary revenue stream, comprising room rentals across multiple properties: Kamogawa Grand Hotel, Hotel Nishinagato Resort, Kamogawa Grand Tower, Katsuura Hilltop Hotel & Residence, Smile Hotel Sugamo, and Smile Hotel Nihombashi Mitsukoshimae. Room types range from standard hotel rooms to premium penthouse suites (e.g., Penthouse The Kamogawa at Kamogawa Grand Tower, 116 sqm), Japanese-style rooms, ocean-view rooms, and condominium units. Revenue is generated on a per-night basis with various meal plans (breakfast only, half-board, full-board).
2. Food and beverage (dining): Restaurants and dining services across all group properties. Key dining offerings include buffet restaurants (e.g., Belvedere at Hotel Nishinagato Resort with ~70 menu items), Japanese cuisine, banquet dining, wedding receptions, and seasonal buffet fairs. Revenue is generated through per-covers, buffet plans, banquet packages, and à la carte dining. Beverage services including alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks are sold individually or as part of all-you-can-drink plans.
3. Weddings and events: Wedding ceremony services (chapel, shrine, and humanist styles), wedding receptions (披露宴), bridal beauty services, banquet events, and meeting/conference facilities. Hotel Nishinagato Resort features a chapel overlooking the ocean and角島大橋. Kamogawa Grand Hotel offers seaside wedding venues. Revenue is generated through package pricing for wedding ceremonies, receptions, catering, dress rentals, and add-on services (e.g., メッセージローズ, flower arrangements, anniversary cakes). Bridal beauty courses are offered as 1-day to 5-day programs.
4. Group and MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences): Group accommodation plans (卓盛りプラン, バイキングプラン) for groups of 15 or more, meeting and banquet facilities (e.g., convention hall at Hotel Nishinagato Resort, 233.3 sqm; banquet hall 326.4 sqm), and team-building or corporate retreat packages.
5. Day-use (日帰り) tourism services: Day-trip visitors pay for hot spring bathing (温泉), beach access, pool access, dining, and event participation. Hotel Nishinagato Resort charges 1,000 JPY per adult for hot spring day-use and 2,000 JPY for beach/pool day-use. These services provide incremental revenue from non-staying visitors.
6. Spa and wellness services: Hot spring (温泉) bathing, public bath facilities, and bridal beauty services (e.g., 1-day course at 28,600 JPY, standard 3-day course at 74,800 JPY, deluxe 5-day course at 132,000 JPY). Penthouse suite at Kamogawa Grand Tower features a private open-air bath (光明石温泉) and rock sauna.
7. Ancillary services and retail: Gift shop (売店) sales of local specialties, regional food products, and amenities. Additional revenue from rental equipment (e.g., fishing gear, baby equipment), courier/shipping services, and special occasion items (e.g., anniversary cakes, message roses, sake with custom labels).
