Okinawa is a warm region where you can spend comfortably outdoors as it rarely drops below 15 ° C even in winter. Because there are many events and anniversaries such as Christmas and New Year holidays, the event started with the hope that you will spend a memorable time while avoiding the three crowds. It is an open facility centered on the outdoors, so you can spend your time with peace of mind.

In the video, I also took an aerial shot with a drone. I made a video so that many people can enjoy the fantastic world where the sea shines with the starry sky.

This video can also be viewed on the Hoshino Resorts YouTube channel and the Hoshino Resorts official website.
