In the courtyard facing the mountain stream, we will hold the “Oirase Cider Festival” where you can enjoy 30 kinds of ciders from Aomori prefecture at once while feeling the sound and the night breeze. Please enjoy a relaxing summer time.
In Aomori Prefecture, which boasts the largest production of apples in Japan, cider, a liquor made from apples, is one of the ways to enjoy apples. Cider, which has been a favorite drink in France for a long time, has become popular in Japan in recent years due to its fruity taste and refreshing taste.
At this event, we will offer 30 types of cider carefully selected from 10 domains in Aomori prefecture. You can enjoy various types of cider at once, from the ones that won the international cider competition, the ones for a limited time, to the original ciders of the hotel.
* International competition … “International Cider Challenge” held in the UK every year
We have prepared a portable “drinking comparison set” so that you can easily enjoy various ciders with different flavors. You can choose your favorite 3 types and enjoy the different flavors of each cider while feeling the fruit and crispy bubbles of apples along with snacks such as apple pickles and apple chips.
We are taking measures to prevent infectious diseases such as seating arrangements that take social distance into consideration. Participants do not have to worry about being crowded and can spend their time with peace of mind.

The Hiroshima Museum of Art is hosting the exhibition “ZIPANGU: Contemporary Artists Who Defined the Heisei Era” (November 2, 2024 – December 22, 2024). This showcase brings together works by some of the most prominent figures in Japan’s contemporary art scene, including Yayoi Kusama, Takashi Murakami, Makoto Aida, Yoshitomo Nara, Chiharu Shiota, Izumi Kato, Akira Yamaguchi, and Miwa Komatsu. The exhibition has already garnered significant attention, exceeding 10,000 visitors.
HYAKKEI covered the dialogue between contemporary artist Takashi Murakami and Sueo Mizuma, the curator of this exhibition, held at the RIHGA Royal Hotel Hiroshima. We also conducted an exclusive interview with Mr. Mizuma.
The discussions centered on the aspirations behind the ZIPANGU exhibition and offered forward-looking insights, not only into Japan’s art world but also into the rediscovery of value within Japanese culture by its people.
