We are participating in "April Dream," an initiative to share dreams on April 1st. This press release outlines the dream of Kawatana Grand Hotel Otafuku.


■ Time to Express 'Thank You' and 'Congratulations' Directly

Kawatana Grand Hotel Otafuku (Kawatana Onsen, Shimonoseki City, Yamaguchi Prefecture https://www.kgh-otafuku.co.jp/) believes that the time spent face-to-face, expressing words of 'thank you' and 'congratulations,' warms human relationships and connects them to the future.

■ Celebrating Moments to Make That Wish a Reality

Therefore, we wish to cherish places where people can gather, spend time together, and exchange words on life's milestones.

Our offerings include suggestions for stays and meals for celebrations, as well as celebratory dishes featuring authentic Shimonoseki tiger pufferfish.

Authentic Shimonoseki Tiger Pufferfish Sashimi - Tsuru Mori (Crane Arrangement)

The Tsuru Mori tiger pufferfish sashimi, suitable for celebratory occasions, is an auspicious dish symbolizing 'good fortune' (fuku) and a way to express your feelings to loved ones.

Furthermore, the culture and prayers of this region are subtly present throughout the hotel.

Shimenawa (Sacred Rope) - Kakuju (Crane Longevity)

In the Cafe & Lounge Fuyamabunko, we display the 'Kakuju' shimenawa, designed by Suwa Onmatsu, a master straw craftsman from Toyoura Town, who became nationally known from the 1960s onwards.

■ Not Overly Special, Just Cherished Anniversaries

What we want to cherish are

Days when families gather after a long time, moments to express gratitude, birthdays celebrated each year.

These are the small anniversaries within everyday life.

A pet's birthday is also a cherished anniversary.
Time with family gathered after a long time.

Life is full of various milestones.

Moments of laughter with friends during graduation and farewells.

The joy of celebrating children's growth as the family expands.

Moments of expressing gratitude on Mother's Day and Father's Day.

Time spent alone as a reward for yourself.

Intimate time with a loved one on a birthday.

■ We Want to Be a Place Where Good Fortune Circulates

As people gather, exchange words, and share their feelings,

'Thank you' and 'Congratulations' are born.

This accumulation eventually becomes 'good fortune' (fuku) and circulates among people.

Kawatana Grand Hotel Otafuku aims to be a place that weaves such moments.

■ Celebration Plan

For life's milestones such as birthdays, 60th (Kanreki) and 70th (Koki) birthday celebrations,

Mother's Day, Father's Day, wedding anniversaries, and other occasions to gather with loved ones.

Enjoy a special night with Kaiseki cuisine, carefully prepared with seasonal local vegetables and ingredients like the rare and exquisite 'Takamori Wagyu' beef from Yamaguchi Prefecture.

As a finale, we offer a commemorative dessert plate, beautifully arranged for your group.

We will create a heartwarming experience filled with laughter, 'Congratulations,' and 'Thank you' around the table.
