Green season has arrived: Okuirase Keiryu Hotel’s mountain stream open bus tour

2021.04.27

Hoshino Resorts proposes micro tourism where locals can spend time nearby while avoiding the Three Cs. We will hold a “mountain stream open bus tour” that runs along the Oirase mountain stream in Aomori prefecture on a two-story open bus this year as well.

Overwhelming sense of openness where you can feel the wind and scent

The biggest attraction of this tour is that you can enjoy an overwhelming sense of openness. Since you drive on an open bus without a roof, you can not only hear the murmuring of mountain streams and the barking of wild birds, but also the breeze and the scent of the forest. Slow down and drive slowly so that you can fully enjoy the scenery of the mountain stream, the refreshing breeze, and the scent of the forest.

Superb view of green overlooking 360 degrees

The Oirase Gorge is a U-shaped valley, and the roads and promenades on which buses run are at the bottom of the valley.

As you walk along the road and promenade, you will be covered with tall trees and rock walls, and you will feel as if you are walking through a forest tunnel. Surrounded by a magnificent view of greenery overlooking 360 degrees, you can refresh your mind and body by feeling close to nature.

Also, from the open bus, which has seats higher than a general bus, you can see the mountain stream from afar, you can discover the fruits and flowers of tall trees, and the charm of the Oirase mountain stream that you do not notice when walking. You can know deeply.

[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.
