Make a rainy day a fun memory “Yatsugatake Fure Fure Sky”

2021.05.21

“Furefure Bozu”, which turns brightly when it gets wet in the rain, is now available at Hoshino Resorts RISONARE Yatsugatake. It is an event where you can enjoy rainy days by welcoming the rain throughout the street, such as a transparent rain shelter space where you can enjoy the sound of rain without getting wet.

A beautiful world created by rain and more than 1,000 "Fure Fure Bozu"

On the 150m main street “Peman Street”, instead of “Teru Teru Bozu” who wishes for a sunny day, “Fure Fure Bozu” who waits for the rain appears and it becomes brightly colored when it gets wet.

You can look down from the window of the “Wine Suite Maisonette” overlooking Penthouse Street, walk along Penthouse Street, and see the rainbow-colored gradation from various places. It is a scenery that can only be seen here, where the Fure Fure Bozu, which is about 40 cm in length, colors the rainy sky with a gradation of eight colors named after the “eight” of Yatsugatake.

"Rainy Dome" to enjoy raindrops and rain sounds

On Peman Street, there will be a “Rainy Dome” where you can enjoy the raindrops and the sound of rain. You can watch how the raindrops hit the dome, feel the difference in the sound of rain depending on the size of the raindrops, and enjoy a rainy day even more when it rains. It is a space where you can spend time with wine and light meals while looking up at the rainy sky that you do not usually look up at.

Time: 11: 00-16: 00
Price: Free
Location: Pepper Street

"Fure Fure Poncho" for taking photogenic photos

At the activity center inside the facility, “Fure Fure Poncho” can be rented only on rainy days. You can enjoy watching the fluffy priests on Peman Street and listening to the sound of raindrops hitting the poncho without worrying about getting wet in the rain.

In addition, there are three colors of Fure Fure Poncho, and it is recommended to take a picture as if you were a member of the colored Fure Fure Bozu. A wide range of sizes are available, so children and adults can enjoy the rain together.

Time: 9: 00-18: 00
Price: Free
Location: Activity Center

Rainy day limited activity "Aerial walk in the forest, touching version"

A rainy day-only “Furefure version” will appear in the activity “Aerial walk in the forest” where you can enjoy the world in the air on an athletic course 5 to 7 meters above the ground set up in the forest adjacent to the hotel. In the “KIDS course” where children with a height of 90 cm can challenge, bubble showers occur regularly.

On rainy days, the humidity is high and the soap bubbles are hard to break, so you can experience a fantastic world. In addition, in the level 1 to 4 courses, “Rain Soldier” that attacks the participants with water from the ground appears. Participants will be lent a water gun so that they can intercept with a water gun from the air.
