At Hoshinoya Karuizawa, you can enjoy the moon-viewing experience beloved by cultural figures at the Karuizawa Akizuki no Utage.2024Years9Month3from the day11Month30It will be held until the day.

The predecessor of Hoshinoya Karuizawa1914When Hoshino Onsen Ryokan was founded in 1945, many cultural figures who stayed there would elegantly enjoy watching the moon with a drink in hand in the autumn. The Karuizawa Akizuki no Utage has deepened this culture of moon viewing and elevated it to the modern era.

For this event, a "bonfire stall" will be set up on the Meditation Bath Terrace on the premises, where you can enjoy a wide view of the night sky. You can enjoy moon viewing in a fantastical space where the comfortable darkness that surrounds the terrace and the soft, spreading lights are in perfect harmony.

Furthermore, the resort will offer moon-viewing banquets that change according to the moon's changing appearance each day. For example, during the full moon, when the moon is at its brightest, they will offer a "Concert Under the Moon," allowing you to immerse yourself in the magical moon-viewing experience. Also, during the periods from the standing moon to the turning moon, when the moon can be seen late at night, they will offer a "Machitsuki Evening Drinks Set," allowing you to admire the moon floating quietly from the guest room terrace after the banquet. They will also suggest activities and behaviors that will allow you to appreciate the moon that are only available on that day.

In addition, there are about 100 sake breweries in Shinshu, one of Japan's leading sake producing areas.30The brewery will be offering seasonal limited edition sakes such as Hiyaoroshi and Akiagari. You can enjoy tasting different autumn sakes while gazing at the moon.
