[Kyukamura Nasu] “Azalea de Sanpo” program where the vermilion color of azaleas shines in the fresh green

2022.05.08

The new service “ONEUP Program” started to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Kyukamura Nasu.
We will guide you to “Azalea de Sanpo” where you can enjoy a walk at “Yahata Azalea Garden” which is in full bloom from the middle of May.

“Yahata Azalea Garden” spreads over the Yumoto district of Nasukogen at an altitude of about 1,100m, which was selected as one of the “100 Kaori Landscapes” and “100 Scenic Spots in Tochigi Prefecture” by the Ministry of the Environment.
About 200,000 azaleas of various types bloom in a garden on the hillside of a vast plateau of about 23 ha.

At Kyukamura Nasu, we will hold “Azalea de Sanpo” for guests to enjoy the azaleas that are in full bloom.
There is a promenade in the park so it is easy to walk, and there are tables and benches in some places.
Many flowers are pleasing to the eyes of travelers.

It was the horses that made this stunning azalea community!
Nasu Kogen has been a region where livestock farming has been popular since ancient times, and Yawata has been a pastureland for Nasu’s specialty horse “Nasu Koma” since the Meiji era.
Horses eat alpine plants, but not poisonous azaleas.
For that reason, azaleas are growing in this area.
You can meet “Nasu Tkara”, which inherits the rare “Nasu Koma” pedigree, at “Nasu Kogen Rindo Lake Family Ranch”.

Overview of "Azalea de Sanpo"

Period: Mid-late May 2022

[Hoshinoya Tokyo] “New Year’s Kabuki Stay” brings the hospitality of an Edo Period theatrical teahouse to the present day.

Hoshinoya Tokyo, a Japanese-style inn located in Otemachi, Tokyo, will again this year host the “New Year Kabuki Stay” program, a two-day and one-night stay from January 5 to 26, 2024.
For people living in Edo, one of their New Year’s pleasures was to watch Kabuki, and it was a chic way to spend the New Year. Theatrical teahouses supported this way of enjoying Kabuki. In addition to arranging tickets to the theater, the teahouses delighted patrons by providing a complete range of services, including plot notes, tea, sweets, makunouchi box lunches, and snacks and drinks (*1). Hoshinoya Tokyo offers a stay to celebrate the New Year with hospitality similar to the theatrical teahouses of the time.

[Shinjuku Gyoen x Naked] NAKED Autumn Foliage in Shinjuku Gyoen 2023 to be held

From November 22 (Wed) to December 3 (Sun), 2023, an autumn foliage lighting event will be held at Shinjuku Gyoen. Following the cherry blossom event this spring, Shinjuku Gyoen and Naked will collaborate again this fall for the autumn foliage event. Shinjuku Gyoen, one of Tokyo’s most famous gardens, is one of the few places in the city where visitors can enjoy the autumn leaves. The 200-meter-long rows of plane trees, the best maple tree spot in the city, Momijiyama, and the “Middle Pond,” with its spectacular reflection in the pond, will offer a world where the autumn leaves of Shinjuku Gyoen and Naked’s art and food are fused together.
