At the remote island beach resort “Hoshino Resort Risonare Kohamajima” located in the southernmost Yaeyama Islands in Japan, a coral-shaped Christmas tree with a total length of 6 meters will appear on the beach adjacent to the hotel. There are white sand sofas where you can spend a relaxing time. It is an event where you can enjoy Christmas on the beach, enjoying coffee roasted with coral and sweets presented by Kariyushi Santa. The period is from December 1st to 25th, 2021.
A Christmas tree with a coral motif will appear on the beach with a sense of privacy this year. The size of the tree, which is colored pink like a coral, is about 6 meters in total length. Decorate the lights of the seashells and the floating balls of Ryukyu glass to create a beach Christmas. In addition, trees made of coral and white sand are lined up around it, and when it lights up at night, it creates a fantastic atmosphere.
A sofa made of white sand will be installed near the Christmas tree. A sofa decorated with coral-patterned cushions. You can spend a relaxing time watching the Christmas tree and the stars in the sky with your loved ones. We also offer “35 COFFEE” so that you can enjoy your time on the beach. By heating the weathered coral to 200 degrees Celsius and slowly baking it with coral heat, you can enjoy the mellow taste of coffee.
“Kariyushi Santa” appears in the event area of the beach that spreads around the coral Christmas tree. It is Santa Claus on the southern island wearing Okinawa’s Kariyushi shirt. Kariyushi Santa will present a coffee-flavored bittersweet “35CHINSUKO” to liven up the beach Christmas.

The Hiroshima Museum of Art is hosting the exhibition “ZIPANGU: Contemporary Artists Who Defined the Heisei Era” (November 2, 2024 – December 22, 2024).

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.
