Since its launch, the program has been well-received with many international guests using their free time to participate due to its casual "drop-in anytime" nature. Guests have provided positive feedback, commenting, "It was a lot of fun to have this kind of experience right here in the hotel," and some of the past participants have even returned to the hotel specifically to join other workshops. The hotel will continue to deliver memorable experiences to all its guests, allowing them to experience the "depth" of Japan through its unique seasonal culture and art during their stays. Also, guests can look back on the culture and art items they created in the workshops taken home with them to fondly reminisce about their journeys to Japan.

Concept of Cultural Discovery

Japan boasts a wide variety of cultures and arts born in harmony with nature. Moved by the ever-changing seasons, prayers and gratitude, together with influences from cultures around the world, have long been woven into Japanese culture. This cultural discovery program offers a space to encounter "Japanese culture in the present age" through artists' works, while enjoying Japan's rich seasons and its connection to the world year-round.
