On the food floor of the Seibu Ikebukuro main store, a new food spot has been created that meets the needs of a wide range of generations, from long-established feasts and maniac seasonings to famous sweets that you meet while traveling and sweets from your hometown.

At Unohanagaki, a confectionery shop that collects famous confections from all over Japan, you can find nostalgic cheap sweets, Japanese confections made by popular young craftsmen, and trendy sweets all in one place.

Feel free to buy Japanese sweets from long-established and famous shops
In the newly established “Ohitotukara(from one)” corner, sweets are sold individually and can be purchased from one.
We offer the convenience of purchasing as many long-established Japanese sweets and local sweets as gifts and snacks.
In addition to famous confections, there are cute cookie tins and assorted sets that are recommended for small gifts and souvenirs.

Communicating the history and culture of Japanese sweets
In addition to developing seasonal products and seasonal ingredients that change daily and monthly,
By conveying the history and origins in an easy-to-understand manner, we will make proposals that will make you feel more familiar with Japanese sweets by letting you know the unique Japanese food culture of “tasting Japanese sweets according to the season and seasonal calendar”.

Reflecting the opinions of young employees on the sales floor
Paying attention to the fact that young people are moving away from Japanese sweets, employees of the same generation are involved in the renovation, researching other business categories and conducting questionnaire surveys in preparation for the renovation, reflecting real needs in the sales floor.
We will also develop a variety of cutting-edge Japanese sweets, such as sweets that focus on the appearance of “cuteness” and “stand out”, and Japanese sweets that incorporate elements of Western sweets.
In addition, we are also particular about wrapping, and we have newly adopted an original drawstring bag that can be used as a gift by packing sweets. We aim to create a sales floor that appeals to those who have never been interested in Japanese sweets.

Iide Town, Yamagata Prefecture] “Submerged Forest of Lake Shirakawa,” a Mysterious Spring-Only Scene 

The mysterious scenery of Lake Shirakawa in the town of Iide in southern Yamagata Prefecture can be seen only during two months in spring. In spring, a large amount of melt water flows into Lake Shirakawa from the Iide mountain range, one of Japan’s 100 most famous mountains, where there is heavy snowfall. When the lake is full of water, it creates a fantastic sight of white willow trees as if they are growing out of the water.

[Hoshinoya Tokyo] “New Year’s Kabuki Stay” brings the hospitality of an Edo Period theatrical teahouse to the present day.

Hoshinoya Tokyo, a Japanese-style inn located in Otemachi, Tokyo, will again this year host the “New Year Kabuki Stay” program, a two-day and one-night stay from January 5 to 26, 2024.
For people living in Edo, one of their New Year’s pleasures was to watch Kabuki, and it was a chic way to spend the New Year. Theatrical teahouses supported this way of enjoying Kabuki. In addition to arranging tickets to the theater, the teahouses delighted patrons by providing a complete range of services, including plot notes, tea, sweets, makunouchi box lunches, and snacks and drinks (*1). Hoshinoya Tokyo offers a stay to celebrate the New Year with hospitality similar to the theatrical teahouses of the time.
