The official website for “Yumedokoro Unazuki,” a hot spring facility located in Unazuki Onsen, Kurobe City, Toyama Prefecture, utilizes GAIA.
◎Reasons for Theme Selection
We chose this theme because it included a calendar capable of adding business days and events, making it easy to post facility information.
The demo site featured an aquarium, and the theme’s wave-like, fluid motion added movement to the site. We felt this theme’s design strengths would translate well for use by a hot spring facility.◎ Key Focus Points
We used footage of the facility interior on the homepage. It was great that videos prepared to match the theme could be easily added via the admin panel.
While setting the facility’s image colors, overall layout, and text within the theme, we handled finer details by slightly modifying the code. We created pages like facility guides and access information as “static pages” and displayed them as tab items, making the site easy for visitors to navigate.Overall, it’s an intuitively easy-to-use theme. I was able to build it by researching key points as needed to achieve my goals, which was great.
I think it’s a recommended theme for beginners to intermediate users, as well as those seeking expandability.
The video placed on the top page is effective for intuitively conveying the facility’s appeal to visitors. The clean atmosphere inside the facility and the open, tranquil space are expressed through the footage, creating an impression of a relaxing place even before visiting.

Furthermore, GAIA’s unique “wave animation” aligns perfectly with the concept of a hot spring facility, enhancing the gentle, healing ambiance. The swaying wave motion on screen evokes the sensation of soaking in hot water and spending time in leisurely relaxation.
