Body (First 8000 characters): "Fermented Shaved Ice" to Enjoy in the Evening Cool
"Hoshinoya" facilities offer overwhelmingly extraordinary experiences with unique themes. Hoshinoya Tokyo, a tower-style Japanese ryokan that continues to evolve with modern times, proposes a summer stay that weaves the wisdom of Edo into the present, from June 1 (Monday) to August 31 (Monday), 2026. The symbol of this summer is "Fermented Shaved Ice" to enjoy after bathing in the natural hot springs. Fermented foods such as amazake and mirin, once popular for warding off summer heat, are combined with seasonal fruits to offer supreme coolness in a private space. Furthermore, experiences such as "Seasonal Hakonoiwa Crafting," depicting a fresh summer scene within a paulownia box, offer an elegant, extraordinary experience unique to a Japanese ryokan, allowing guests to forget the hustle and bustle of the city and appreciate coolness with all five senses.
Seasonal Welcome
Japanese inn owner performing uchimizu in the front garden on a rainy season veranda, "Hydrangea"
Stepping away from the noise of the office district, guests are enveloped in a refreshing, cool air from the uchimizu. Passing through the Aomori cypress door at the entrance, a display of fresh seasonal flowers like hydrangeas and Natsuhaze adorns the veranda, delivering coolness even to the eyes. Sencha tea and seasonal sweets are served in the Ochanoma Lounge. Extending one's legs on the tatami, the mind shifts from the urban heat to tranquility, marking the beginning of a special stay.
*The flower materials for the display may change depending on availability.
"Fermented Shaved Ice" to Enjoy After Bathing
"Fermented Shaved Ice" in seven layers enjoyed after bathing
After relaxing the body in the natural hot springs gushing from deep underground, guests proceed to the Ochanoma Lounge in their yukata. Here, they can savor "Fermented Shaved Ice," which elevates the wisdom of Edo to the modern era. Fermented foods such as amazake, doburoku, and mirin, once popular for warding off summer heat, are combined with the rich sweetness of seasonal fruits. Listening to the refreshing sound of melting ice, this is a luxurious summer time unique to a Japanese ryokan, hydrating the body from within in a private atmosphere.

"Yoi Mae no Hitotoki" (Before Dinner Moment) to Enjoy Before Dinner
Relaxing before dinner, chilled white gourd soup
In the evening before dinner, guests can quench their thirst with refreshing Edo-era delicacies. The main dish is a flavorful chilled soup made with "white gourd," highly valued in the Edo period. For drinks, in addition to sake, there's "Hon-naoshi," an Edo-traditional liqueur made by adding shochu to mirin. The crisp texture of the white gourd and the sharp, chilled flavor of Hon-naoshi provide a pleasant stimulation on a summer evening. This is a sophisticated way for adults to enjoy the beginning of the night gracefully, reflecting on the history and culture of Edo.

"Seasonal Hakonoiwa Crafting" to Enclose the Calendar
Miniature garden expressing cool water carefully reflecting the season
Before departure, following Edo's gardening culture, guests immerse themselves in "Hakonoiwa Crafting" to express their own summer coolness. Inside a paulownia box, they depict scenes of deep green moss after a gentle rain and clear water flowing between rocks. Touching stones and moss, gently reflecting the essence of nature in a small miniature garden brings a quiet coolness to the mind. This is a creative experience that concludes a stay at a Japanese ryokan, cherishing the season in the heart of the city.
