It is an event to enjoy watching the “Christmas tree” decorated with the observation spot “Cloud Walk” with a height of about 10 meters. In addition, “Ski Santa” who loves skiing and Tomamu’s powder snow has appeared. If you talk to Ski Santa, you will get a Christmas gift of sweets with the image of it. At the indoor cafe “Cloud Cafe”, we will give you Christmas-only sweets.
During the period, objects such as cabbage and radishes with the motif of seasonal vegetables will shine in the “POKO POKO Square” in the facility, making it look like a shining vegetable field.
Introducing “Agri Santa,” who talks about vegetables and gives guests a puffed rice made from rice as a Christmas present.
At the buffet restaurant “SHAKI SHAKI”, you can enjoy “Christmas veggie dessert” using vegetables such as Stollen using spinach and roll cake of tomato. In addition, in the “Farmers Lesson” for Christmas only, we will make a Christmas wreath using rice straw with Agri Santa.
The “Wine Bottle Tree” made from 12,000 bottles of wine shines on the hotel’s main street, “Peman Street”.
This year, the third year, the “Mosaic Wine Bottle Tree” is newly introduced as the main tree. Whether you are a family or a couple, you can spend a special Christmas, such as a Christmas market where you can enjoy wine-related miscellaneous goods and craft experiences, and Christmas sweets that are paired with wine.
In the activity lounge, a 3-meter-high “Fireworks Christmas Tree” with a fireworks motif has appeared. It shines in various colors and creates a Christmas atmosphere.
At RISONARE Atami, Santa Claus, featuring fireworks-patterned clothes and a bag with a fireworks ball motif, has appeared. It is an event where you can receive a gift of konpeito, which is reminiscent of fireworks, taste a colorful “fireworks Christmas cocktail”, and spend Christmas unique to Atami.
A coral-shaped Christmas tree with a total length of about 6 meters will appear on the beach next to the hotel.
A tree made of coral and white sand and a sofa made of white sand are lined up in the surrounding area, and when it lights up at night, it creates a fantastic atmosphere. It is an event where you can enjoy Christmas on the beach by enjoying the coffee roasted with coral and the bittersweet “35CHINSUKO” of coffee taste presented by Kariyushi Santa.
Each facility has a Christmas photo spot where you can take pictures with your family and friends.

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.
