A stay program “Yafakaji Nagomi Stay” where you can experience the pleasant breeze on the island and be healed

2022.05.14

At the stay-type resort “Hoshinoya Taketomijima” in Taketomi Island, Okinawa Prefecture, we are planning a “soft-style trash stay” to experience the comfortable breeze blowing on the island this year as well. Please experience the popular program where you can feel the wind in various situations.

Spend a comfortable time at the "Kaze no Ie" where the south wind blows through

Taketomi Island is an island where the original scenery of Okinawa remains strong, with a village designated as an “Important Traditional Buildings Preservation District” in the country. The island’s houses are built to welcome the southwesterly winds in the hot summer and create a pleasant breeze indoors.

We offer “Shisho and Mintha Seiryo Bath” and “Soft Wind Relaxation Set” so that you can feel the breeze more comfortably in your room.

Shisho and mint blue cool bath

Immerse yourself in a bathtub with shisho and mint from the facility. A bath with a refreshing scent of herbs. In addition, the hot water dyed blue using Bataraipee looks cool. The bathtub is located in the center of the room, where the southerly wind blows through. It is an experience to feel the wind of the island while soaking in the blue cool bath.

Relaxation set

We will prepare a soft-style relaxing set that allows you to feel the breeze more comfortably in your room. A coral wind chime featuring a refreshing scent of shell ginger and a clear, high-pitched tone.

As the wind blows, the scent of shell ginger incense spreads throughout the room, and the sound of the wind chimes reverberates. Under the eaves, you can spend a relaxing and comfortable time using a chair mock, a kuba fan and a shell ginger goza.

Enjoy your meal in a place where you can feel the wind

Breakfast at the viewing platform

Located in the southeast of the facility, the viewing platform is a place where you can see the guest rooms that follow the original scenery of the island, such as the guest rooms with red tile roofs, the white sand alleys, and the stone walls that surround the guest rooms. On the other side, you can see Aiyaru Beach where the rising sun rises, and you can feel the wind passing through the sea.

It is a breakfast with 5 kinds of bread and side dishes using ingredients familiar in Okinawa such as red potato and prawn, and fruit juice. Take in the light of the morning sun and the breeze from the sea while overlooking the entire facility, and refresh the beginning of the day.

Aperitif at Azumaya

At the eastern house in the field where the island’s plants grow, you can spend your time before meals, drinking apéritif while feeling the breeze at dusk. Apéritif is a drink that uses red perilla and has a moderate acidity. After being healed by the gentle breeze stroking your skin while gazing at the twilight sky, enjoy a dinner course at the dining room.

Supper "Shimanabe" in the guest room

For dinner on the second day, we will prepare an island pot to be chilled with ice in the guest room where the south wind blows through. A hot pot filled with pork, shimadofu, seasonal vegetables, etc. will be refreshed with “Nuchigusa Ice”.

Life grass is a general term for herbs and vegetables that have been used for health on the island for a long time, and its refreshing scent arouses the appetite of summer.

Experience the maneuvering of a sabani that runs in the wind from the sails

Ride the sabani, a traditional Ryukyu wooden sailing ship, and feel the breeze blowing into the sea. You can experience the power of the wind blowing over the wide sea surrounding Taketomi Island in the sabani maneuvering experience that advances only with the power of rowing using a paddle and the wind. It is an activity where you can feel the summer breeze in a private space. Occasionally take a break from rowing and relax on the sea while being swayed by sabani.

Iide Town, Yamagata Prefecture] “Submerged Forest of Lake Shirakawa,” a Mysterious Spring-Only Scene 

The mysterious scenery of Lake Shirakawa in the town of Iide in southern Yamagata Prefecture can be seen only during two months in spring. In spring, a large amount of melt water flows into Lake Shirakawa from the Iide mountain range, one of Japan’s 100 most famous mountains, where there is heavy snowfall. When the lake is full of water, it creates a fantastic sight of white willow trees as if they are growing out of the water.

[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.

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.
