For the opening of Rosewood Miyakojima, Rosewood Hotels & Resorts’ first property in Japan, Sensu Studio was brought in by Eightmedia to produce a short social media video documenting the opening ceremony on March 5, 2025. Located on the remote tropical island of Miyakojima in Okinawa, the luxury resort combines Rosewood’s approach to hospitality with the natural landscape, culture, and traditions of the Ryukyu Islands.

The opening ceremony brought together around 100 guests, including VIPs, media, Rosewood executives, and representatives of the property owners. The evening featured speeches, traditional performances by local Miyakojima artists, a musical performance, and the unveiling of a large shisa created by local potters for the resort.

Working alongside the wider production team, Sensu Studio handled video production and filming on location, capturing the key moments of the event for use across Rosewood Miyakojima’s social media channels. The project required a fast turnaround, with the footage reviewed immediately after the event and the final video edited, colour graded, and prepared for approval by Rosewood’s Hong Kong headquarters within just a few days.

The resulting opening recap video was created to reflect Rosewood’s visual identity while capturing the atmosphere of the ceremony and the resort’s connection to Miyakojima and its local culture. With the video published on Rosewood Miyakojima’s Instagram, the opening event has since reached more than 18,000 views, helping introduce Rosewood’s first Japanese property to a wider audience.

For Sensu Studio, the project was an opportunity to support the launch of a major international luxury hospitality brand in Japan, delivering a polished social media asset on a demanding schedule while working within a detailed brand approval process.
