[Oirase Keiryu Hotel] The “Mountain Stream Autumn Foliage Coloring Book,” an activity to enjoy coloring in the early morning when no one is around

2022.09.15

Hoshino Resort Oirase Keiryu Hotel, located along the Oirase mountain stream in Aomori Prefecture, is now offering an activity to express the quiet early morning scenery with art, along with sweets and coffee. We hope you will take your time and express the autumn scenery as you feel it.

Enjoy coloring in a quiet early morning at the spot with the most colorful autumn leaves.

We will take you to Oirase Keiryu (mountain stream) in the early morning when it is quiet and less crowded, avoiding the daytime crowds. We will take you to the spot where the autumn leaves are at their most colorful, perfect for expressing them in a coloring book. Chairs, tables, and other items for immersing yourself in coloring, as well as snacks and coffee, will be provided for those who wish to spend a longer time enjoying the experience.

Original line drawings and 100 colored pencils depicting a mountain stream in autumn

We have prepared original line drawings for this activity that seem to capture the famous places of the Oirase mountain stream as they are. The line drawings depict the mountain stream in autumn with details such as growing trees and small plants.

In addition, in order to express the colorful scenery of the Oirase mountain stream, we have prepared 100 different colors of colored pencils, such as the color of mountain yellow to imitate the vivid autumn leaves of horse chestnut trees, the soft orange of the autumn leaves of Japanese maple trees, and the pine needle color of moss that stands out amidst the autumn leaves. By applying the colorful colored pencils to the finely drawn line drawings, the autumn scenery of Oirase Keiryu can be enjoyed more deeply.

"Advice Sheets" that enable anyone to color beautifully.

With the cooperation of a professional illustrator, we have prepared an advice sheet that describes the order in which colors are added to line drawings and how to layer colors for a beautiful finish. The advice sheet was prepared by the illustrator who created the line drawings, and is original to this activity, covering detailed techniques such as how to create beautiful gradations and how to apply colors evenly and neatly. By simply coloring according to the sheet, even those who do not usually draw can create beautiful coloring pictures.

[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.
