With the concept of “rest to be absorbed in”, each facility offers an overwhelming extraordinary theme with an original theme, “Hoshinoya”. “Hoshinoya Karuizawa” will hold a breakfast program “Private Flower Breakfast” where you can enjoy flowers in a special seat on the water for a limited time from May 15th to June 15th, 2022.
We offer a breakfast where you can enjoy tofu made from Kobusi flowers, which is a town tree in Karuizawa, and Temari sushi that imitates primroses that signal the arrival of spring. After meals, we will prepare “flower tea” that you can enjoy according to your mood. You can enjoy the flowers unique to Karuizawa at the special seats on the water, which is limited to one group per day.
A flower breakfast is served on the water of Kera Pond at the entrance of Karuizawa Wild Bird Sanctuary. The road leading from the land to the seats is transparent, and it is an extraordinary experience as if you were walking on the surface of the water. You can enjoy the view of the fresh green by sitting on a special seat set up on the water of Kera Pond.
You can also admire the flowers that bloom in Hoshinoya Karuizawa on the table. You can spend a time healed by the delicate color of the flowers and the lovely appearance.
After meals, we will prepare flower tea blended by Hoshinoya Karuizawa staff so that you can enjoy it according to your mood. Flower tea is a blended tea that combines flowers and herbs. First of all, the staff will hear about the mood after eating.
Blend to create a flower tea that suits your mood, such as those that warm your body with a spicy flavor and aroma, and those that refresh you with a refreshing taste. You can spend a relaxing time while enjoying the flowers until the end.

The Hiroshima Museum of Art is hosting the exhibition “ZIPANGU: Contemporary Artists Who Defined the Heisei Era” (November 2, 2024 – December 22, 2024). This showcase brings together works by some of the most prominent figures in Japan’s contemporary art scene, including Yayoi Kusama, Takashi Murakami, Makoto Aida, Yoshitomo Nara, Chiharu Shiota, Izumi Kato, Akira Yamaguchi, and Miwa Komatsu. The exhibition has already garnered significant attention, exceeding 10,000 visitors.
HYAKKEI covered the dialogue between contemporary artist Takashi Murakami and Sueo Mizuma, the curator of this exhibition, held at the RIHGA Royal Hotel Hiroshima. We also conducted an exclusive interview with Mr. Mizuma.
The discussions centered on the aspirations behind the ZIPANGU exhibition and offered forward-looking insights, not only into Japan’s art world but also into the rediscovery of value within Japanese culture by its people.
