Enjoy the “Japanese summer tradition” ♪ “Takanawa Summer Festival 2020”, where you can enjoy the fair with a yukata

2020.08.24

The Prince Sakura Tower Tokyo, Grand Prince Hotel Takanawa, and Grand Prince Hotel New Takanawa have families and a wide range of generations who are not able to enjoy summer events due to limited outings and travel, and enjoy the Japanese summer tradition. The “Takanawa Summer Festival 2020” was held on Friday, August 14th and Saturday, August 15th.

At the “Takanawa Summer Festival 2020”, which will be celebrating its 7th year, you can experience the atmosphere of “Japanese summer” such as fairs in Japanese gardens, experience traditional Japanese culture, and live Japanese instruments.

In order to make the summer festival even more enjoyable, we have prepared an accommodation plan where you can change into a yukata and enjoy a festive atmosphere, and an accommodation plan where you can spend a cool time at Kaidan.

In addition, with the cooperation of Kyoto City, which is collaborating every year, we will hold a pop-up store of traditional crafts made by Kyoto craftsmen at this hotel. Craftsmen, which can usually be purchased only on the web, will be on sale for two days only by craftsmen.

At Prince Hotel, we have established a new sanitary and disinfection standard “Prince Safety Commitment” so that our customers can enjoy a safe and clean space with peace of mind. In addition to strengthening the hygiene system of employees, we will ensure the environment where customers can spend their lives with peace of mind, such as temperature measurement and disinfection of fingers.

This summer, we propose to make memories of summer vacation at a hotel where you can spend your family with peace of mind.
