The hot spring inn brand “Kai” is based on the theme of “It’s a royal road, but it’s new.” I have made a suggestion.
At the hot spring inns “Kai Hakone” and “Kai Sengokuhara” in the Hakone area, we are planning a “superb view open bus tour” overlooking Mt. Fuji and Lake Ashi from May 15th to June 5th, 2022.
The biggest attraction of the open bus without a roof is the 360-degree view. While feeling the early summer breeze, you can see Mt. Fuji and Lake Ashi appearing in front of you, and enjoy the power and exhilaration that can only be experienced by an open bus.
In this tour, we will stop at “Mikuni Pass” located in the middle of “Ashinoko Sky Line”. It is a view point that can only be accessed from the “Ashinoko Skyline”, and the staff is also recommended for the view of the magnificent Mt. Fuji that extends to the base. There is time to get off the bus, and you can enjoy taking a commemorative photo.
The tour uses an open-air bus, but in addition to that, in order to maintain social distance, about 30% of the seats (48 seats in total) are vacant, and seats are seated at intervals. increase. In addition, the following “hygiene management” measures will be taken.
・ Wearing masks for drivers and guide staff
・ Install alcohol at the boarding gate
・ Disinfection of handrails, seat belts, and seats in cars

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.
