The plan is designed to support those who have not been able to go on graduation trips in recent years, and to provide an opportunity for younger travelers, who have become increasingly discouraged from traveling, to go on a trip at any time.
The plan is designed for stays of two consecutive nights or more so that visitors can fully enjoy not only Kushiro, but also the great nature of the surrounding area and the natural phenomena unique to winter.
・The sunset from “Haimai Bridge,” a 10-minute walk from the hotel, is popular. Recommended as a photo spot.
・SL Winter Marshland Train: This train runs between Kushiro Station and Shibecha Station. It is a popular sightseeing train that allows passengers to enjoy the retro atmosphere.
・The red-crowned crane, a special natural treasure, is a rare bird that symbolizes East Hokkaido. You can see its mysterious appearance at the spots where it flies over.
・Canoeing: A canoeing experience is recommended to enjoy the clear winter air as you slowly float down the Kushiro River.
Enjoy the great nature of East Hokkaido with a special fixed-price plan♪

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.
