Representative Director Shigeru Yamashita Comment
We would like to express our sincere gratitude for your continued support for sightseeing in Fujikawaguchiko Town.
Due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection this year, most of the annual tourism events have been canceled or postponed for the time being.

Under these circumstances, the “Go To Travel Campaign Project” was implemented with the aim of stimulating domestic tourism demand, but I think that there are still some concerns and anxieties about tourism and travel.
In addition, with the pretext of putting the health care of the people first, local governments nationwide have forgotten the annual event and have stopped promotion.

Tourism plays a very important role in revitalizing the region, and it is clear that the domestic tourism industry will be in a catastrophic situation if nothing is done.

The federation has decided to hold the “22nd Fujikawaguchiko Autumn Leaves Festival” as usual in order to revitalize the depleted regional economy. Starting from the foot of Mt. Fuji, which is also a symbol of Japan, here in Fujikawaguchiko Town, we will promote the way of traveling based on the “new lifestyle” in the era of Wiz Corona.
I’m sure there are some criticisms about holding the event in the current domestic situation, but I would like to take all possible measures and take courage to work on it, hoping for the reconstruction of tourism in Japan.

Therefore, we would like to ask all of you for your deep understanding and come to Fujikawaguchiko Town.
Representative Director Shigeru Yamashita

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] “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.

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.
