Novelty items are the perfect way to leave an impression of the hot spring destination you visit. In this article, we will explain practical novelty items that are well-received at hot spring resorts.
1. What is the effect of novelties?
■Memorable
I have experienced it myself, but the hot spring area I received as a novelty remains in my memory. I have visited various hot spring areas, but to be honest, I'm not confident that I remember all of them. However, when I see the novelty, it triggers my memory, and I think, "Oh, I went to this hot spring!"
■Promotion of hot spring areas
Novelties can clearly reflect the characteristics, history, and culture of the hot spring area. For example, printing the logo of the ryokan or using a character that originated from the hot spring area. By branding the hot spring area and differentiating it, it is possible to attract customers.
■Spirit of hospitality
I have actually received novelties, and it gives me a happy feeling as if I gained something. Rather than something cheap and ordinary, items that have a special feel unique to that hot spring area are likely to be appreciated. Hot spring areas attract not only domestic tourists but also many foreign tourists. Therefore, practical hot spring goods that can be enjoyed by a wide range of people are recommended.
