At HOSHINOYA Taketomi Island, you can experience the spring island event “Sanizu” only on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays from March 1, 2023 to May 31, 2023.
We will carry out a “Fresh picnic on the beach” that you can enjoy while listening to the sound of the waves.

Seaside picnic seats inspired by Sanizu [NEW]

Set up picnic seating on the beautiful beach of Taketomi Island.
This year, the second year of its implementation, you can now enjoy the scenery and food while soaking your feet in the cool and pleasant sea water.

Picnic box filled with spring seasonal ingredients

In a container that reproduces the bento box that the islanders used to use in the past, we will prepare dishes using spring ingredients that are popular on the island, such as mozuku seaweed, sea lettuce, and shellfish.

"Houchimuchi" made while being taught by the islanders

The harvested fuchiba(Mugwort) is mixed with mochi flour in a mixer, and the resulting dough is steamed.
By working with the islanders, you can make hand-made items while talking about the old Sanizu and the culture and customs of the island.
