ABOUT

作りこむのではなく、実が成るように。

Naru Developmentsは、世界的なホテリエでありAMAN創業者でもあるAdrian Zecha(エイドリアン・ゼッカ)氏とともに、 「Aman Tokyo」など日本のAMANを立ち上げた早瀬文智をはじめとしたチームによるホテルの開発・運営会社です。縁のあった土地の声に耳を傾け、決して自分たちのエゴで作るのではなく、まるで木々に実が成るように、その場所が望むことを「宿」というかたちで具現化することを信条としています。 2021年、旅館ブランド「Azumi」をZecha(ゼッカ)氏と共同で設立、広島県尾道市にブランドの第1号となる「Azumi Setoda」(22室)と「yubune」(14室)を開業しました。2025年には「Azumi」から派生したブランド「AZUMA FARM」を立ち上げ、日本の豊かな自然を次代に残すことを理念としたファームリゾートとして、「AZUMA FARM KOIWAI」(24室)を、2026年春に岩手県小岩井農場内にて開業する予定です。 また、Zecha(ゼッカ)氏との共同ブランドとは別に、より小規模で独立性の高い 個性的な宿も運営しています。滋賀県高島市では一棟貸しの「福田屋」「うさぎ屋」、岡山県倉敷市の美観地区内では「撚る屋」(13室)を運営し、宿が街全体に緩やかな連携をもたらすような地域を代表する宿の開発を進めています。

Let simple be simple, and
complicated be complicated.

Naru Developments is a hotel development and management company run by a team led by Fumitomo Hayase, formerly AMAN Japan representative, alongside AMAN founder and re-owned hotelier Adrian Zecha. By listening to the voices of the land of whom we share a deep connection with, our principle lies in giving physical form to what a place intrinsically desires in the form of an “inn”, just as trees begin to bear fruit, rather than creating things out of our own ego. In 2021, we co-founded the ryokan brand "Azumi" with Zecha, and opened "Azumi Setoda" (22 rooms) and "yubune" (14 rooms), in Hiroshima.
In 2025, we plan to open "AZUMA FARM KOIWAI" (24 rooms) in Spring 2026 at Koiwai Farm in Iwate. This is a farm resort with the philosophy of preserving Japan's rich natural landscape for future generations. In addition to co-brands with Zecha, we also operate smaller-scale, highly distinctive accomodations. In Shiga we operate "Fukudaya" and "Usagiya", which are private lakeside inns, and in Okayama, we operate “Yoruya" (13 rooms), a boutique culinary hotel. We continue to develop unique accomodations that reflect the region and gently fosters connections across local communities.
