Studio Alice Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kita-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture; President and Representative Director: Shunsuke Makino) will jointly develop a 'Shichi-Go-San Photo Plan' for families and a 'Life Story Photo Plan' for seniors, set in member-only resort hotels operated by Resorttrust Co., Ltd., as a collaborative project. Reservations will begin sequentially at the participating hotels from Wednesday, June 10, 2026.
Studio Alice has been capturing the smiles of many families, primarily through commemorative photos that accompany children's growth. This time, with the desire to be with families for a long time, not only for children and parents but also for grandparents, we are starting this joint project with Resorttrust.
This project proposes a special opportunity for three generations—from grandchildren to grandparents—to gather and create memories. By combining the luxurious time spent leisurely in beautiful resort locations with commemorative photography celebrating life's milestones, we offer a new form of celebration that vividly captures a family's 'good life'.
