TOKYO (Jiji Press) — Major hotels in Japan are making use of cherry blossoms, which showcase spring in the country, to attract more overseas visitors at a time when tourists’ focus is shifting to cultural experiences from shopping.
Located in Shinjuku, central Tokyo, Keio Plaza Hotel is exhibiting a 5-meter-high arrangement of flowers in its lobby through April 15, using more than 200 branches of cherry trees from regions such as Tohoku.
“Overseas guests have been charmed by the arrangement and have been taking photos of it,” a Keio Plaza official said. On Thursday, a flower arrangement artist will give a live performance.
The Prince Park Tower Tokyo in Shibakoen set up a cafe featuring items such as lights decorated with cherry blossoms. At the cafe, which will be open until Sunday, visitors can view the illuminated Tokyo Tower while enjoying cherry blossom-flavored food and drink.
In light of an increase in overseas visitors enjoying cherry blossom viewing, Fujita Kanko Inc., which operates Washington Hotels and other hotels, has produced booklets on viewing manners in English and Chinese.
The booklets, which advise people not to hog too much space when having a viewing party and not to pull the branches of cherry trees, are distributed at 20 Fujita Kanko-affiliated hotels across Japan.
