This special plan allows you to enjoy a relaxing moon viewing experience while sipping tsukimi (moon-viewing sake) on a boat that moves slowly under the moonlight in Yanagawa, which has been selected as one of the 100 best moons in Japan. The time spent listening to the boatman’s songs while watching the clear, beautiful night sky and the moon reflected on the surface of the ditch will be one of the most beautiful evenings in the four seasons of Yanagawa.
In this plan, after tasting autumnal dishes, guests will board a boat from a dedicated Ohana landing and enjoy tsukimi-sake and snacks while viewing the moon. For the tsukimi-sake, we will prepare a set of three different types of carefully selected local sake from the Chikugo region for you to compare. For those who are not good at drinking, non-alcoholic drinks that go well with the snacks will also be available.
*The picture of the snacks is an image. (The contents of the snacks will change depending on the day)

*Plan sales dates are limited due to the fact that we carefully select dates that are close to the full moon and on which the moon is visible.
The full moon in 2022 will be on Saturday, September 10 / Monday, October 10 / Tuesday, November 8.
For those who want to enjoy the view of the boat at night even if the moon is not on the best date, we also offer the “Night Charter Boat Plan”. Please check our official website.
*Operation of boats due to weather conditions
Please note that the boat may not be operated depending on the weather. In such cases, we will prepare a set for moon viewing in a private room at the ryotei (Japanese-style restaurant), which is a cultural asset, to enjoy the long autumn nights.

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.
