Espacio Nagoya Castle (Location: 3-19 Hinokuchi-cho, Nishi-ku, Nagoya City), which opened on October 1, 2025, is holding its spring promotion 'Celebration with cherry blossoms' until April 12th. In conjunction with the cherry blossom blooming, a 'cherry blossom tunnel' is created inside the hotel, and a 'cherry blossom corridor' is set up at the guest entrance.

Furthermore, a first-time collaboration with Pierre Hermé Paris has been realized. The 'Coupe Glacée Envie,' a sophisticated glass dessert making its debut in the Tokai/Nagoya area, will be available for sale from Monday, April 6th, at 'THE GARDEN LOUNGE' inside Espacio Nagoya Castle. This is a special dish that can only be enjoyed at ESPACIO during this season.

In addition, 'Spring Activities' are also being held, where guests can enjoy Nagoya Castle's cherry blossoms and traditional culture. We offer special programs that allow you to feel spring with all five senses, such as a 'Rickshaw Experience' to tour the cherry blossom-decorated Nagoya Castle area while enveloped in the spring breeze, a 'Gold Leaf Application Experience' taught directly by a traditional craftsman of Nagoya Buddhist altars, a traditional craft of Aichi, and 'Koto Performances' to elegantly color your spring moments, as well as 'Jazz Live' at The Garden Lounge, located beyond the atmospheric corridor with a cherry blossom tunnel and lanterns.

Please enjoy the blissful glass dessert from Pierre Hermé Paris at ESPACIO, along with a spring stay imbued with history and tradition, unique to Espacio Nagoya Castle.
