In the Edo period, it is said that many people, including daimyo, samurai, merchants, and ordinary people, all enjoyed cherry blossom viewing when they heard that “cherry blossoms had bloomed.” (* 1) Even now, many people gather to see the cherry blossoms in the spring. Therefore, in Hoshinoya Tokyo, due to the influence of corona, outdoor cherry blossom viewing where many people gather tends to be avoided, so I want you to enjoy cherry blossom viewing once a year with peace of mind while avoiding the three crowds. , We have developed this plan.

1. Enjoy cherry blossom viewing in the hall

On each floor of Hoshinoya Tokyo, there is a shared space exclusively for guests, the Ochanoma Lounge, and 6 guest rooms. In this plan, Yoshino cherry tree, which is characterized by the pale cherry blossoms that spread in the Ochanoma lounge during the Edo period, and Kawazu, which is bright and dark, so that you can enjoy cherry blossom viewing at any time in the hall regardless of the weather and the flowering situation of the cherry blossoms. You can set up fresh flowers such as cherry blossoms that are close to full bloom. You can enjoy cherry blossom viewing with peace of mind while avoiding three crowds in a spacious space. You can also take a small cherry blossom bowl prepared in the living room lounge back to your room and enjoy a private cherry blossom viewing.

2. Sake and meals associated with cherry blossom viewing in the Edo period

In the Edo period, it was common practice to bring a lunch box when viewing cherry blossoms, and it is said that each person brought their favorite meal and enjoyed cherry blossom viewing. (* 2) In this plan, in the guest rooms, which are private spaces that are not crowded, with the cooperation of the long-established eel store “Nihonbashi Izumoya”, we will prepare a cherry-blossom viewing lunch that will be delivered from the store for dinner.

In addition, the sake is “Iinuma Honke Koshi Haru Sake Kanbashi”, which has a slightly foaming and fresh taste so that you can enjoy it while watching the cherry blossoms. When you pour sake, you can enjoy it in a sake set where the cherry blossoms in full bloom appear on the bottom of the sake cup. In addition, in the Ochanoma lounge, you can enjoy seasonal tea confectionery related to cherry blossoms, such as Sakuramochi from “Iidabashi Mannendo” and Kintsuba with cherry blossom petals from “Eitaro Sohonpo”. I will prepare it.

3. A souvenir of “Hoshinoya Tokyo Original Tenugui” dyed in cherry blossoms

For users of this plan only, we will prepare a hand towel of Hoshinoya Tokyo original design with the motif of “Hoshinoya Square” in front of the entrance of Hoshinoya Tokyo or “Hemp leaf waste” on the outside as a souvenir.

The hand towel is finished by a skilled craftsman of the long-established store “Rizono Dyeing Todaya Shoten”, which was founded in 1872, using a traditional craft called “injection dyeing” that allows the dye to penetrate into the core of the fiber. You can take home the memories of your stay as a souvenir with the cherry-colored hand towel that you can feel the beauty of the color and the good texture unique to hand dyeing.

15:00 Check-in Enjoy Sakuramochi and tea
16:00 Enjoy seasonal sweets using cherry blossoms in the living room lounge
18:30 Enjoy the unaju and liver sucking of “Nihonbashi Izumoya” in the guest room
20:00 Bring a small bowl of cherry blossoms back to your room and enjoy the cherry blossoms at night while drinking cherry blossom viewing sake.
