Rose Hotel Yokohama Offers Exclusive Chinatown Walking Tour and Lion Dance Experience at Yokohama Chung Hwa School

Rose Hotel Yokohama (77 Yamashita-cho, Naka-ku, Yokohama / General Manager: Kazuki Watanabe) is pleased to announce a special experiential accommodation plan for guests staying on Wednesday, August 5, 2026. This package includes a guided walking tour of Yokohama Chinatown and a unique lion dance experience at the Yokohama Chung Hwa School on Thursday, August 6. This plan connects the hotel stay with the charm of the city through walking tours and cultural immersion in the Chinese lion dance tradition. Guests will explore iconic gates and temples, discovering the history, prayers, and festive culture that define Chinatown. In Chinese culture, the lion is a symbol of good fortune, believed to ward off evil and bring blessings. At Yokohama Chung Hwa School, lion dance is taught from kindergarten to preserve the tradition. This plan, supported by the school, offers a rare opportunity to observe practice sessions, watch performances, and even try the lion dance firsthand. This initiative was inspired by the first-ever World Lion Dance Championship held in Japan in the spring of 2026, where Rose Hotel Yokohama staff participated and placed third. This summer, the hotel is launching this plan to bridge the gap between the hotel and the vibrant Chinatown community. It is an ideal summer getaway for adults seeking intellectual stimulation and a perfect opportunity for children's summer research projects. Rose Hotel Yokohama invites you to enjoy a unique summer experience that blends a comfortable stay with deep cultural engagement.
