From June 1st to August 31st, 2023, HOSHINOYA Karuizawa will carry out a program supervised by Dr. Toshiro Inaba to restore the health of the mind and body to withstand the summer heat.
Through not only exercise and diet, but also experiences that value sensibility and senses, you can balance your mind and body and cultivate the ability to respond to seasonal changes.
By facing nature, it is an experience that allows you to notice the magnificence and interest of the natural world, the ephemeralness and preciousness of life that you could not notice just by walking on your own.
This is an experience in which the petals and leaves of wild grasses collected under the guidance of a gardener are selected according to one’s heart and arranged in a mandala pattern.
At the end of the experience, the arranged flowers and leaves will flow into the river on the premises.
By letting go of what you have created once, you can have the peace of mind to face new encounters again.
Take in plenty of refreshing summer morning air and perform “morning cool stretches” to circulate oxygen throughout the body.
Relax the muscles of the whole body and perform a stretch “deep breathing bathing method” that leads to good sleep.
As the first meal in the morning, we will serve “One bowl of awakening” with corn chakin at the terrace seat of Japanese restaurant Kasuke.
