[April 3, 2026] Hilton Narita (Narita, Chiba / General Manager: Toshio Shinozuka) will hold a one-day event, "SPRING FAMILY FES 2026," on Saturday, May 2, 2026, where families can enjoy work experiences related to food and various other activities.

Through the experience of learning from hotel professionals, creating with their own hands, and tasting their creations, we aim to foster children's interest and learning in food, while helping families create lasting memories.

The highlight of this event is the hands-on programs taught directly by hotel professionals.

In cooperation with "Suehiro Farm" from Tomisato City, we will hold a direct sale of the local specialty "Tomisato Watermelon" (cut) and spring vegetables. An all-you-can-pack vegetables corner will also be available, delivering the fun of buying and tasting Chiba's ingredients.
