First of all, we will sell it as an accommodation plan with dinner combined with a 12.5 tatami Japanese-style room.
For holidays at these two stores, guests other than Japanese-style rooms with 12.5 tatami mats, and restaurants other than these two stores, we will inform customers of the restaurants to cooperate with as the destination of the “regional common coupon” at check-in. By doing so, we will improve the stay of our customers and build a way of future cooperation with local restaurants.
With the launch of the plan with dinner, we will start an initiative to make the front staff of “OMOTO” look like Matsumoto’s concierge so that customers can enjoy their stay in Matsumoto.
We have a track record in consulting for many accommodation facilities, and in collaboration with “The Hospitality Team,” which also handles bridal in Matsumoto City, we will enhance the customer service that “OMOTO” aims for.

“To Return Alive, To Bring Others Home Alive”
Opening nationwide on August 15, 2025—marking eighty years since the end of World War II—YUKIKAZE is a feature film based on the true story of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) destroyer Yukikaze, a vessel that rescued countless lives amid the horrors of war. A press screening was held in advance at the Sony Pictures screening room.
The destroyer Yukikaze, which served throughout the Pacific War, was renowned for rescuing numerous sailors thrown into the sea during fierce naval battles, surviving to the end of the war virtually unscathed. It earned the legendary moniker “the lucky ship.” This film brings to life the ship’s heroic journey, alongside the lives of those who persevered through one of the most turbulent eras in modern history.
Leading the cast is Yutaka Takenouchi as Captain Kazutoshi Terasawa—a fictional amalgamation inspired by the real-life captains of Yukikaze. Hiroshi Tamaki portrays Petty Officer First Class Kohei Hayase. Supporting roles are delivered by an ensemble of acclaimed actors including Daiken Okudaira, Rena Tanaka, Kanji Ishimaru, and Toru Masuoka. Kiichi Nakai delivers a commanding performance as Vice Admiral Seiichi Itō, the Second Fleet Commander of the IJN who met his fate aboard the battleship Yamato.
In today’s world, once again shaken by division and violence, YUKIKAZE poses an urgent question to those of us living in the peace that others fought to protect: Are we once again treading the path of past mistakes? As collective memory of the war fades, this film becomes ever more vital—a call to reflect on the true value of peace.
