Hoshino Resort, the operator of Hoshino-Ya Tokyo, manages a number of accommodation facilities that offer an overwhelmingly extraordinary experience, weaving together the local climate, history, and culture.
Hoshinoya Tokyo, introduced here, is another great place to stay where you can experience both modern and Edo culture.
The only way to experience Edo in an extraordinary way is to stay at Hoshinoya Tokyo or use Doraemon’s secret tool “Dokodemo Door.
Since Doraemon’s Dokodemo Dokodemo Door does not yet exist in this world, you can only experience the fusion of the extraordinary and the Edo period at Hoshinoya Tokyo.
When sightseeing in Tokyo in a short period of time, you want to experience a lot of Japanese culture, but you cannot enjoy all of it.
By staying at Hoshinoya Tokyo, you can enjoy Japanese culture with satisfaction even on a short visit to Tokyo.
Why is that?
Let us introduce you to Hoshinoya Tokyo, where you can fully enjoy Japanese culture.
Overwhelming exterior and guest rooms with a sense of modernity and Edo (present-day and Edo period)
The exterior and interior of Hoshinoya Tokyo.
It is a space that is contemporary, yet everyone can feel the traditional atmosphere of Edo and Japan, overwhelming those who stay there.
The exterior of the ryokan is a modern building with a traditional Japanese style.
This is the entrance.
A Japanese style space welcomes you. We never use a door anywhere.
This is a guest room. You can feel Japanese culture carefully.
It is a comfortable and relaxing space with a modern cleanliness.
In addition, the onsen, the dining area, and the scenery all offer an overwhelming fusion of modern and Edo in every space.
Rich Japanese cultural experiences like a theme park
In fact, Hoshinoya Tokyo is not a ryokan.
It is a theme park. It is a playground.
It is a lie. It’s a ryokan.
However, there are many experiences available at this ryokan that will allow you to fully experience the traditions of Japan without having to do any sightseeing in Tokyo.
I can’t introduce them all here, but I will introduce some of the most wonderful experiences.
Edo Bijin Stay
This is a 2-day/1-night stay plan to learn about beauty awareness through practices and spa treatments favored by women in the Edo period.
Practices include tea ceremony, shamisen (three-stringed Japanese instrument), knob crafting, and origami.
You can also enjoy a special breakfast called “Edo Bijin Gozen.
Morning swordsmanship practice in the sky(”Tenkuu Asa Gekiko.”)
You can experience a combination of kenjutsu movements and deep breathing exercises along with a spectacular view of Tokyo.
You will not learn ninjutsu. Never try to fly in the sky with “Musasabi no Jutsu” even if you are open to it.
Japanese hospitality experience – Chanoyu
Experience the culture of Japanese hospitality.
These Japanese cultural experiences include wearing a kimono, making tea, and enjoying Japanese sweets.
In addition to these, many other experiences such as seasonal experiences, Gagaku (ancient Japanese court music), Kodo (incense ceremony), and chartered boats are available from where you are staying.
Specialty Meals and Onsen (Hot Springs)
meal
Food is one of the best parts of travel and one of the most indispensable things for human beings.
Hoshino Resort and Hoshinoya Tokyo are particular about food as well.
- ”Nippon Cuisine”
A course meal that brings out the delicate flavors of carefully selected ingredients using French techniques
- ”Breakfast of the Awake(Mezame no chosyoku)”
You can enjoy a well-balanced and healthy breakfast using seasonal ingredients.
- afternoon tea
You can enjoy a strawberry afternoon tea, or a fresh green afternoon tea using new tea and seasonal ingredients.
Many other plans are available to suit your stay, including dishes that can be ordered 24 hours a day, a choice of Japanese or Western breakfast, and a service that allows you to relax and enjoy a sumptuous meal in the room where you are staying.
Onsen (hot spring)
Hoshinoya Tokyo is also particular about its hot springs.
Natural hot spring water springs from 1,500 meters below the ground, moist and soothing to the skin, relieving fatigue from sightseeing.
And what’s more, the open-air bath is located on the top floor, so you can enjoy the luxury of Tokyo from above.
You can also enjoy a program called “deep-breathing regimen” to regulate your breathing, or enjoy the spa in combination with the hot spring baths.
This is truly “super(Spa)” hospitality.
