Every Night is a Full Moon This Fall at Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo
TOKYO, July 13, 2023 (Newswire.com) - While many may associate Valentine's Day with love, autumn is the season of romance at Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo. The luxury urban resort is hosting an autumn event titled 'Tokyo Moon' from September to November 2023. Visitors can view the impressive display in the hotel's historic garden and begin their evening with a special moon-themed high tea menu.
Japan has long had a custom of admiring the full moon, called tsukimi. Japanese people consider the autumn moon to be the most beautiful, and with the onset of autumn, tsukimi festivals are held throughout the country to express appreciation for the moon and for a good harvest.
The moon is also connected to love in Japanese culture. In fact, back in the Meiji period, writer Natsume Soseki translated 'I love you' to 'tsuki ga kirei desu ne' (The moon is beautiful, isn't it?). The pink full moon of June, called the Strawberry Moon, is also said to be a symbol of love.
For the Tokyo Moon display, a collection of mist, typically used for the Tokyo Sea of Clouds, will be used to form the large display. The hotel invites guests to spend a quiet autumn evening with their loved ones under the bright, warm light of the Tokyo Moon.
"We are thrilled to have this new addition to our garden so that our guests can enjoy the beauty and phenomenon of a full moon throughout the entire autumn season," remarks Shinsuke Yamashita, General Manager.
Lobby Lounge Le Jardin will also prepare a Tokyo Moon-themed Evening High Tea menu. It will include roast beef, special tsukimi-themed treats, champagne and more.
