Kyushu will send the “cherry blossoms of the year” to the world! “What you can do now” project started by volunteer companies in Kyushu!

2020.04.03

The movement to stop unnecessary and urgent outings due to the influence of the new coronavirus has been established, and various events have been canceled, and the unavoidable situation has continued to deprive many people of their enthusiasm.
Also, the cherry blossom viewing of spring, a feature of spring in Japan, has to be voluntarily restrained at the request of local governments. We want to change this situation with a feeling of obstruction positively from Kyushu.

■ Development contents

1. The Sakura Shimbun in full blossom was published in the “Western Newspaper Morning Edition 30-page Spread” (March 27)
2. Established a special website for transmitting cherry blossoms from various parts of Kyushu (March 27)
 The special movie “Kyushu Sakura Movie” that shot this year’s cherry blossoms was released on April 9.

■ Project Thoughts
It would be nice if you could see the cherry blossoms in full bloom in full swing and feel a little positive. The days of anxiety continue, but let’s all enjoy what we can do now.

■ Participation action
What you can do now! Enjoy what you can do now. The cherry blossoms of Japan are the power of everyone.

[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.

[Shinjuku Gyoen x Naked] NAKED Autumn Foliage in Shinjuku Gyoen 2023 to be held

From November 22 (Wed) to December 3 (Sun), 2023, an autumn foliage lighting event will be held at Shinjuku Gyoen. Following the cherry blossom event this spring, Shinjuku Gyoen and Naked will collaborate again this fall for the autumn foliage event. Shinjuku Gyoen, one of Tokyo’s most famous gardens, is one of the few places in the city where visitors can enjoy the autumn leaves. The 200-meter-long rows of plane trees, the best maple tree spot in the city, Momijiyama, and the “Middle Pond,” with its spectacular reflection in the pond, will offer a world where the autumn leaves of Shinjuku Gyoen and Naked’s art and food are fused together.
