Project Overview
We were responsible for integrating microCMS into the website for YAWN YARD Kouri Island (Yawn Yard Kouri Island).
About the YAWN YARD Website
YAWN YARD, planned and operated by Kashiwabara Hands Co., Ltd., embodies a "stay-in garden" that offers an alternative way to relax, where people and nature come together in harmony. It delivers unique lodging experiences that draw on the climate, landscape, and lifestyle aesthetics of each region. Its first property opened in September 2024 on Kouri Island, a remote island in Okinawa Prefecture.
This project supports the opening of YAWN YARD Kouri Island. Nippon Design Center (NDC) handled art direction, concept and naming development, and website production.
Our role was to implement the news feature powered by microCMS.
The completed website reflects YAWN YARD's philosophy of giving form to an alternative way to relax, where people and nature come together, shaped through a dialogue with the local climate, landscape, and lifestyle aesthetics.
To convey the appeal of the property as fully as possible, all photography was newly commissioned. The visuals capture the space in harmony with the nature of Okinawa's Kouri Island and the unhurried stay it offers.
NDC handled everything from naming to copywriting, allowing visitors to envision time spent at YAWN YARD from the perspectives of "garden," "living," and "dining."
Refined visuals and copy are essential to expressing a world view. However, visual appeal alone cannot deliver an excellent web experience. Building systems that let users engage with the service without friction is equally important.
The news feature we implemented is one example. Enjoying the changing seasons is part of the appeal of YAWN YARD, and to make each stay comfortable while people notice these daily changes, timely information delivery is essential. By integrating microCMS, which can be operated intuitively, we set up an environment where on-site staff can post news directly, enabling prompt announcements tailored to the situation.
