2021.03.13

It has been 10 years since the earthquake. In Fukushima City, we would like to express our gratitude for the support we have received so far, and we will deliver the “beautiful spring” that Fukushima citizens are proud of to everyone in Japan.

《Beautiful flowers of Hanamiyama to your home》

In Fukushima City, we have been taking steps to restore the peaceful life before the earthquake with the support of many people. With the milestone of 10 years, we want people all over the country to know about “the present of Fukushima”, so we can ship the flower branches of “Hanamiyama”, one of the most famous cherry blossom viewing spots in Japan, as a hometown tax refund. It is now possible.

> Hanamiyama special site

Many of you may be surprised to hear that you can get flowers that are famous for cherry blossom viewing, which is visited by 200,000 people every year.

In fact, it is not well known that “Hanamiyama (Hanamiyama Park)” is a privately owned mountain that runs a flower farm, that is, a “field”. Ichiro Abe, the second owner of Hanamiyama Park, and his father, Ise Jiro, decided to stop sericulture and make a living as a flower farmer at the beginning of the Showa era, and invested themselves in the clearing of thickets. Is the origin of the birth of “Hanamiyama Park”.

The number of people visiting the mountain landscape, where colorful flowers and trees are in full bloom, has increased year by year, but Ichiro Abe said, “It’s a waste to see the beauty of natural flowers alone. I want to do it, “and opened the mountain for free.
Discovered by photographer Shotaro Akiyama and praised as “there is Taoyuan Township in Fukushima”, it became famous and became one of the best tourist attractions visited by many people from all over the country.

Anyone can enjoy walking around Hanamiyama for free, but since the sales destination of “Hanamiyama no Hana” is fixed, the number of people who can get it locally is limited, so it is rare to see it at a flower shop. There is none.

However, this time, with the cooperation of the Abe family who want to help Fukushima City, we will deliver it directly to the general public through the flowering trees that color Hanamiyama and the hometown tax payment to Fukushima City.

《A chance to get to know Fukushima's “now”. Delivered with the wishes of the producer》

The characteristic of Hanamiyama’s flowers and trees is the variety. There are about 70 kinds of flowers such as cherry blossoms, hanamomo, forsythia, and bokeh.

This time, from Sakura (varieties entrusted), Forsythia, Cornus, Peach, etc., it seems that they will incorporate as many colors as possible, such as pink and yellow, so that you can imagine Hanamiyama with a combination of 2 to 3 kinds of flowers and trees.

We will deliver it with Mr. Abe’s thought, “I want you to love the flowers of Hanamiyama at home and think about Fukushima. I also want you to get to know Fukushima.”

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, 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.
