Aomoriya “Hana Yori Dango carriage” that grills rice cakes with the scenery of the spring park on the side

2021.01.27

At Hoshino Resort Aomoriya, an inn where you can fully enjoy the culture of Aomori, from April 1st to May 31st, 2021, we will operate a “Hana Yori Dango carriage” that grills rice cakes with the scenery of the spring park sideways.
In front of the scenery of spring such as cherry blossoms and azaleas, you can enjoy the cherry blossoms in the park by offering the local sweet “June Mochi” that has been eaten at festivals for a long time in the carriage. To ensure peace of mind, the capacity is limited to 2 groups each hour, and acrylic panels will be installed between the staff and each group. The best time to see the cherry blossoms is from April 20th to May 9th.

Reproduce the life of Aomori where horses were close

In Aomori Prefecture, which used to be a production center for famous horses, horses are indispensable to people’s lives and are valued as a family-like existence, such as farming, carrying luggage, and carriages that operate as a means of transportation. Aomoriya operates horse-drawn carriages around the park so that you can experience a part of the life that horses were familiar with.

Enjoy "June Mochi"

In the scenery of spring, such as cherry blossoms and azaleas, the horse-drawn carriage offers the local confectionery “June Mochi,” which has been eaten at festivals for a long time. “June” is a perilla that is also used in cooking oil. The fruit is roasted and mixed with miso, and June miso is applied to the skewered rice cake and baked on a net to finish it with the desired aroma and taste. You may be absorbed in the deliciousness of June Mochi and forget about cherry blossom viewing.

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.

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.
