In Querétaro you will find the only hotel focused, specialized and entirely dedicated to Japanese culture. Get to know it!
There is a keyword that describes Japanese culture: omotenashi. Of deep meaning and popular roots, omotenashi is the courtesy and knowledge of the Japanese people made available to other people. Based on this philosophy, the Fujita Corporation team saw Querétaro as the ideal option to build the splendid Fujitaya Hotel - Fujita's house in its Spanish translation.
Building that from its foundations, its development, its construction, its architecture and its infrastructure - made with totally Japanese materials - establishes a series of characteristics so that anyone can live the experience of relating to the Asian country, since it is the only hotel in Mexico focused, specialized and dedicated entirely to Japanese culture.
Jun Takagi, the hotel's chief operating officer, first set foot in Mexico in 2004. A lover of Mexican food—especially pozole—he understood from the outset the strategic importance of Querétaro as a crossroads and how to channel the profound sense of Japanese cordiality, omotenashi.
"It's a difficult time to travel to Japan; to get there, you have to quarantine for two weeks, you can't do anything, but here we can present a heartfelt atmosphere, with traditional Japanese-based service," says Takagi.
Located in Juriquilla, the hotel brings together and unifies the Japanese community—workers, investors, and tourists—in a 10-story building that concentrates 276 rooms, 76 of which function as residential apartments that embody Japanese hospitality.
The Fujitaya is presented as an ideal offer for the almost 12,600 Japanese citizens who reside in Mexico and for all those who want to understand and learn more about the culture of the country of the rising sun. And it is that in its granite bar we will find a unique gastronomic offer, its Goen restaurant offers about 78 dishes in which salmon, tuna, rice, soups, beef broths, pasta and Japanese beans, take a leading role to envelop any palate that intends to taste and eat as if you were in Japan.
The architecture, also designed to evoke experiences, subtly displays decorations of the asanojo, which is the traditional base of the Japanese symbol that represents the rising sun, an amulet that wards off bad customs, evil spirits, and bad energies, to send a friendly message of peace, harmony, and tranquility.
"You have to visit this hotel, because what it seeks is to connect the best of both cultures, to connect the tradition and heart of Japan with Mexican culture, it seeks to provide security, harmony, transmit the nature, architecture, and Japanese history to our guests, you have to experience the hotel, stay and understand part of the history and custom of Japanese culture," says Jonhattan G. de León, manager of Hotel Fujitaya.
Visit the Hotel Fujitaya and live the experience of feeling like you are in the Land of the Rising Sun, allow yourself to feel the omotenashi and share the hospitality, culture, and nature brought from Japan to Querétaro.
