The Japan Hotel “Hoshinoya Tokyo” will hold a ceremony on the roof of a skyscraper and hold a stay program “Tokyo Tango Stay” in hopes of making a leap forward with a special breakfast.
Boy’s Festival “Tango no Sekku” was favored by samurai families during the Edo period, as the iris symbolizes respect for the warrior.
In this program, under the guidance of a high-ranking disciple of the “Ogasawara-style of archery and horsemanship etiquette,” who used to have a classroom in Kanda,
Learn the etiquette of archery, which was one of the samurai’s tastes, and train your mind and body through archery experience.
After getting rid of evil spirits in the early morning, you will experience a special breakfast exclusive to this program.
The people of Edo used to offer seasonal vegetables to the gods on Boy’s Festival, and by sharing them, they gained the power of the gods.
Therefore, by incorporating auspicious ingredients into your body at a special breakfast, you can wish for your own leap.
